If you're a fan of R&B, you've probably been thrilled over the past year, since there's been a multitude of innovative new artists pouring out quality material. The UK has recently established itself as a major hub for this new wave of electronic R&B, and Leo Kalyan, who resides in London, looks like he might be the next big R&B act from the area. About two months ago, he released "Temptation", an upbeat, danceable track with tropical infusions, but his newest offering here veers off course from his previous release. "Breathe" is dark, tranquil, and powerful, containing a wide range of electronic effects, deep bass, dynamic percussion, and multiple layers of synths, all of which lie beneath Kalyan's irrefutably captivating croon. In just his past two songs, Kalyan has proven himself versatile enough to amaze in both the upbeat and ethereal categories of R&B, and, in doing so, he's left us ecstatic to see what his next musical move will be.
