Laura Clock: Baby – Part One – 12-INCH SINGLE

Laura Clock, who first made her voice known on oOoOO’s 2012 Our Loving Is Hurting Us 12, follows her acclaimed 2013 full-length debut, First Prom, with Baby – Part One. Fade is a maze of reggaeton rhythms and glassy-eyed melodies; Cold features lyrics delivered with an aching synthetic bite; and exquisitely spaced-out Fantasy, produced by Ana Caprix, weaves sound, mood, and lyrics into an inseparable whole. Slowly is a headlong soundclash between Clock’s sorrowful voice, synthetic choral synths, and crunching rap beats, featuring a fast-paced turn from rapper Nina B – the EP’s most striking moment, it’s dizzying emotional peak.
