A little while ago we highlighted London’s excellent “Cold Pillow” track and now he has just dropped his “This Charming Mixtape” download. This sees London delving more into the electro/nu wave side of things. This coupled with his pleading vocal intonations, nerd-punk style, and generally dark-hued outlook require a whole other genre. Emo-soul I’m calling it! I’m still kinda reserving judgement on the mixtape as a whole – besides Cold Pillow, I’m not getting that much into it yet. But in any case, it’s worth a listen – definitely an interesting point of departure from your usual progressive soul stuff.
