As the chlorophyll-deficient leaves start to come upon us, we notice a sudden influx of warming R&B acts transpiring at quite an incredible pace, and the supremely talented duo sāj certainly evidences such on their debut EP, Alpha Centauri. With influences from distinct flanks of hip-hop, R&B, and soul, the pair's coalesced their unique voice types and production expertise to form an unorthodox, haunting euphony that painlessly yields a tower of compelling sentiments. The cut we’ve selected from the mentioned work is the Sxmus-assisted “Poison: The Fixation”, and it's one heavily doused with the sultry correlation of the two’s voices, and a measured, meditative beat that seamlessly percolates through as the piece evolves. Though the track is a short-lived one, its gentle pace will have you sauntering through the eloquent, heartfelt vocals longer than expected, and with Sxmus’ adept vocal editing and meticulous choice of long-drawn-out chords, the aura encircling the track is nothing short of alluring and poignant. Head over to SoundCloud if you wish to delve deeper into sāj's project.
