Listen: Harris Cole - "Baby, I Love You"
In keeping with ultra-cool URL label / collective / group of friends KEATS//COLLECTIVE's tradition of sharing a new and unreleased track every Friday (as part of what they call "FUTURE FUNK FRIDAY"), here is the 29th in the series: "Baby, I Love You" by Harris Cole.
With wonky hi-hats punctuating a gloriously horizontal hip-hop-flavoured beat, the track slowly winds into life, the treble – achingly held back at first – gradually filling your ears with sharp, glistening sounds. Golden glockenspiels, piano doused with lounge cool, that soulful, one-note string, and a funk slide of brass burst into life. All this is underpinned by a bulging, glossy baseline and overpinned with steamy vocals that sing lines like "I would die / if you tried / to leave" in a 70s-era silken warmth of romance often encapsulated by the purveyors of future funk.
Harris Cole is 18-years-old and is co-owner of label BLVNT RECORDS.
