As a musician, one of the hardest challenges you can face is attempting to evolve your sound. It takes a lot of effort to do so, and it isn't easy to produce content that can satisfy the average listener. However, there are a few exceptional artists that can play with moods and genres in an ambidextrous manner within their tracks, and a prime example is 20-year-old, Toronto-raised, Montreal-based Ursa Major. We got familiar with Ursa's sound from the premiere of "Dusk" a couple of weeks back, and now he's returned with his second single already, "Around". Contrary to the gloomy, provocative, and futuristic qualities of his previous track, the second one here has feel-good, old-school hip-hop, and R&B written all over it, and, by revamping a J Dilla sample by adding primitive components to it, the production will get your head nodding soon after it starts to play.
