Making her first appearance as a solo artist, 20-year-old producer/singer www.soundcloud.com/compton-chicsteps out from behind the cloud of budding Montreal artists and onto the main stage with her debut eight-track EP #CRYING, the newest release off of LFTF’s free-music label Our Sounds. Stemming everything in and around emotion, #CRYINGsees Compton Chic yield uncanny and wildly experimental ideas through waves of lush and hot-blooded atmospheres, employing her soul/R&B as well as Goth/punk influences to form an unorthodox conundrum of sound that is both dismal and tragic, yet beautiful and sublime. While most tracks on #CRYING showcase Compton Chic’s inherently creative ability to sample vocal parts, the song “DEFROST” places her own voice at the focal point, resulting in an even deeper appreciation for the Canadian’s wide-ranging talents.
