An eclectic and bold EP, ‘Stunts’ is the arriving point of a long artistic journey, a slice of sonic and lyrical research driven by British producer Lestor. Having written the record over three years, the young creative is now able to share the results. It’s a triumph: drenched in futuristic and elegant trip-hop vibes, ‘Stunts’ feels luscious and poignant, offering an opportunity for catharsis and wholesome lyricism. Sonically, the EP constantly balances over the aforementioned trip-hop elements and more modern electronic and RnB vibes, making for an immensely colourful and nuanced offering.
Overall, ‘Stunts’ feels dark and evocative, as if it were the result of introspective exploration. In a way, it is, as Lestor charmingly explains: “I wanted this EP to represent a mental health journey, as I started making it in a really dark place.” A mirror of his own experiences, the EP follows the enlightened path followed by the British talent, now walking into healthier and more balanced territories.
‘Stunts’ feels dynamic and ever-changing, jumping from emotional textures to lighter and sleazier beats. A plethora of male and female vocals give the record a very relatable outlook, allowing Lestor’s songwriting to take on a practical and meaningful shape.
