Seventh Wonder has released his take on Sampha's "Happens", and, to our excitement, he's really knocked this one out of the park. The ultra-chill tempo in the original was allowed to breathe a bit, and the final sound includes in equal amounts: piano chords, choppy beats, and a layering style that will have you itching for a second go-round the moment the track ends. The song definitely embodies a certain freshness in its approach, but there's nothing juvenile about how Seventh Wonder turned this quiet ballad into a low-slung piece of electronic production with as much class as thump. Seventh Wonder has been killing it for almost a year now, and this newest release is definitely taking his brand to the next level.
