ADVANCED has been following o F F Love (formerly just "o F F") since his earliest Bandcamp releases and I've really enjoyed watching his growth as an artist and his concurrent growth in popularity (he was recenty written up in The Guardian). His unique style is an awesome overpowered, exploded, R&B that takes the all-pervasive Auto-Tune to new level. It's pretty cool how he's taking the most derided element of current music, turning it up to the Nth degree, and making something beautiful. For the first single from his upcoming full length Probably Love, "close to u , i'm not" he actually pulls the distortion back a bit to let some of his soft voice shine through. Typically, it's a slow-paced, haunting number that takes a moment to sink into but once you're there you never want to leave.
Plus check out banging techno remix by M.E.S.H. that definitely isn't to lay around in like most of my favorite o F F Love songs. You can get both of them as a single from iTunes.
o F F Love - Close To U (M.E.S.H. remix) by M.E.S.H.
My favorite, though, is this killer mix o F F Love did with Butterclock which is set to slowed-down vintage boy band footage. It is truly beautiful and pretty amazing when watching the visuals. I recommend.
