Maryland’s Ayotemi and producer Foolie $urfin have shared a new single titled “letterman”. The eclectic artists, whose lush, genre-blending styles captivate with engaging dynamics and sharp songwriting, continue to explore new sonic territory on this offering. The second single from their upcoming collaborative EP Indigo Rap, “letterman”‘s layered sound and immersive warmth make it a vibrant, hypnotic listening experience.
As glowing, laid-back guitars open the track, the listener is transported into a hazy soundscape, setting the stage for Ayotemi’s smooth, heartfelt vocals. He enters with elegant melodies, as heavy trap-influenced percussion drops in beneath to create an intriguing juxtaposition with the otherwise silky instrumentation. With pillowy 808s building an enticing rhythm beneath, this track conjures a hypnotizing groove that is both soothing and exciting, drawing the listener deeply into its balmy atmosphere.
The latest from Ayotemi and Foolie $urfin, “letterman” pairs infectious, groove-heavy production with focused songwriting in a refreshing and vibrant manner. Combining potentially disparate sonic elements smoothly through its usage of relaxed guitars, buttery vocals, and heavy trap percussion, “letterman” is a song that refuses to be put into a box. The second single from their upcoming EP Indigo Rap, this song has us excited to hear the project at length.
