Sleepyhead
Blending genre with ataractic ease, London based chameleon Retropxssy impresses with her latest captivating and evasively retrospective contribution ‘Sleepyhead’. A demiurgic and unconventional artist, Retropxssy uses elements of electronica, punk, hip hop and garage, converged with a distinctively British writing approach, to construct provoking and robust music.
Following a run of solid releases, most recently the ominous and sensual ‘Double Take’, Retro opts for a lighter sonic timbre on the memorable and understated cut. She offers a short, sharp burst of coy, tongue in cheek lyricism and a rumination of auditory exploration. The influence of garage is abundant, with the brazen breakbeat constant and unmissable, with subtle synths and staccato bass filling up the soundscape. The flows are acute and showcase Retropxssys strong bar game, as she explores themes of self-esteem, clean living and love.
An individualistic and avant-garde approach to merging generic boundaries, Retropxssy shows herself to be an artist with great potential and acumen.
