French Alt Trip Hop project UTO find cinematic brilliance with their interpretation of Dido’s classic White Flag. The singer has a rare curious exotic timbre. Her unique tonality presents with creepy sensuality. Forced out of a whisper, it’s ripe with emotion and concern. The progressive design adds to the songs dramatic feel. We love it.

It’s not small feat to cover Glory Box by Portishead and keep it relavent. GoldCry does that and more with their recent interpretation. They add some dreamy reverence. It lands cinematically gorgeous. This dark hypnotic truth evolves with seductive curiousity. The vocal performance has that ability. It lends itself to your imagination as you try to supplant a personality and intention to the voice. Hear for yourself.

UK producer NUTRI3NT caught our attention with their new single Shadows. The delightful trip hop single features a haunting female vocal part. It might be AI, but it’s convincing and worthy of a soundtrack spot. She scans the melody, turning up every catchy trait the song has to offer. The downtempo groove is guaranteed to get you swaying in tandem with its infectious movement. Stylistically its likely to connect with fans of Thievery Corporation and Massive Attack.
