There are rare times when a new sound jumps out at you as being not only unique, but actually and genuinely special. When we first heard "ALWAYS HAVE", the first song on Torontonian artist Young Clancy's debut EP, the track had that exact sort of impact on us. Young Clancy's work seems to be almost paradoxical—forward-thinking, but soaked in nostalgia that's messy-sounding, yet well-polished—ultimately finding itself somewhere between hip-hop, R&B, and soul. Today, we're featuring Clancy'sYung Prince of the Basement EP (it's his debut), and, with it, we're thinking Clancy's establishing himself as one of the more intriguing (and promising) artists out. Of course, we're going to be eagerly awaiting more new material from him, but, in the meantime, we'll be keeping his project in rotation, for sure. Stream some of our favorites from the work below, and find the entire EP available on Bandcamp.
