Well, we knew Kwabs wouldn't be in hiding for too long, and after a colossal 2014, it was only matter of time until we'd hear some enthralling news pertaining to fresh work from the man. As he announces his debut album, Love + War, we've just that, and with the new news, he's given us a soul-laced, spine-chilling gem entitled "Perfect Ruin". From the oxymoronic title, to the brilliantly directed visuals, the entire piece propagates an unprecedented caliber of soul, and it's no surprise Kwabs is in the forefront of it all. Felix Joseph is responsible for the backdrop of the piece, and it's one that relies heavily on untouched keys and long-drawn glacial chord progressions. We'll never quite tire from praising the vocal abilities of Kwabs, as he takes a slightly different approach in comparison to his recent work here by leaning toward what he's done best: letting his baritone-heavy vocals compliment the higher-pitched notes to bring about a rich and flavorful sonic experience. Check out Kwabs' material below, but more than that, pre-order his debut album on iTunes now, and be gifted with an instant copy of the track.
