Live Review: Azekel ‘Mad About The Boy’

‘Mad About The Boy’ is Azekel's latest single; one with immense rhythm and one to also keep you on your toes.

His music is rife with infectious R'n'B vibes, and it’s only getting bigger and better.

AZEKEL is his name, and he’s one of the most innovative artists we’ve seen in a while. Not only is he a whiz at production, he’s got an incredibly well-seasoned voice too, one that pairs perfectly with his articulate eye for production.

‘Mad About The Boy’ is his latest single; one with immense rhythm and one to also keep you on your toes.

There’s nothing jagged about this, it’s silky smooth right from the first second to the outro. From the harmonious vocals to the rather warped synths paired with some eclectic sound effects, he’s done an incredible job with this single.

This intoxicating single is definitely one of perplexing perfection. AZEKEL is a producer to watch out for, and he’s definitely a man of many talents.
