With the rise of interweb wonder boy Yung Lean, it’s hard to ignore the ever present sad emoji/synthy electronic/emotive lyrics thing that has become virtually inescapable amongst the Soundcloud world.
However, when an upcoming producer such as Ten Diamonds does something a little different, and creates music using grounded vocals that hold the right amount of sentiment, the right amount of heart and the right amount rhythm and blues… something brilliant happens.
Soundcloud ghost-poet Ten Diamonds encapsulates all of this. With the wholesome help of Mardi Larsons, he uses her dainty vocals to soar over his impeccable music production that merge synthy waves, cloudy atmospherics and hip hop instrumentals to pump life into your veins.
This new track 'Month Ago' off mix tape 'Catching Feelings', blurs genre and puts a new futuristic spin on the RnB aesthetic. It's the sort of melancholic-electronic love-child you'd expect if Yung Sherman and Kalyani from Willow Beats ever hooked uppp <3
Ten Diamonds captures unrequited love, the cosmos and all them feelings in between in 2.5 delicate and deep minutes.
