Creating high quality music from a bedroom is one of those things that would be essentially unimaginable fifteen years ago, but with modern technology, all you need is a laptop, some software, and a couple of instruments (if you even feel they're necessary). The result of such accessibility to professional producing software is a widespread wave of musical creativity, and it's dropped off thousands of impressive new acts, with Kotomi being one of them. "Over Our Heads" was manufactured next to the songstress' bed in Los Angeles, and the track is irrefutable evidence that exceptional electro-pop can originate from anywhere. Lauren Hillman (Kotomi) presents the vocal prowess necessary to be a major pop act, and this claim is backed by her infectious chorus and smooth verses. However, we're especially blown away by Hillman's phenomenal production, which consists of careful manipulation of massive synths and the implementation of electronic percussion. Vocal bits and guitar chords ride atop a consistent bassline, altogether emitting a powerful pop vibe that we adore. If you enjoy the passionate pop of "Over Our Heads", you can download the song and check out the rest of her EP on Bandcamp or iTunes.
