sudan Strikes A Fine Balance Of Styles With 'omg'

In an age when music criticism suffers from the lukewarm feeling that almost every music release under its critique is at least 6 out of 10, it's refreshing to come across a piece of music from an artist just starting out that's easy to get behind with robust promise. 22-year-old Pritpal Sudan from Mumbai, who is previously seen backing the likes of Anoushka Maskey and Lavi & Foenix, launched his solo act named after his last name with 2021's 'Fire / Snow'. Nearly 3 Years on, the producer and instrumentalist has announced his debut album 'sudan?', to be released on June 21, from which he has just released the single 'omg'.

Lo-fi recording of soulful singing over large piano chords transforms into a brimming electropop-meets-neo soul passage a la Sampha or Kamaal Williams. The production keeps growing with moments of satisfying drops and layering styles over another without overpowering the previous or the songwriting – giving a perfect balance of interesting ideas without becoming too eager to impress.
