The keen reader might be already familiar with Kele Fleming. Hailing from Canada, the inspired songstress has been long championing a luscious, organic and cathartic artistry, built over intricate Folk arrangements and honest storytelling. ‘Sea in Me’ is the perfect evidence of that; an anthemic, slow-burn jewel packed with fragility and authenticity.
Now, Fleming looks to revitalize her sonic livery with the help of British alchemist Cholly, infusing ‘Sea in Me’ with a healthy dose of bold yet nuanced electronica, and a certain avant-garde flair. It’s intriguing: the talented London-based producer manages to take Kele’s vocals into extraordinary settings, showcasing the project in a different, yet very mesmerising light.
While the references generate in the synth-pop and leftfield realm, Fleming’s enchanting tone remains the same, now supercharged by long reverbs and cleverly put-together harmonies. Cholly struck gold here, taking the record to a whole new level of musical catharsis.
