CHILDREN OF ZEUS 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: In our eyes, Children Of Zeus can do no wrong. Then again, they've yet to release a duff record, so it's hardly a controversial opinion. Their latest outing on First Word is another two-track gem. A-side "Royal" is particularly sumptuous, with the Manchester duo delivering a soul slow jam so deep, sugary and musically rich that you might want to take it home to meet your parents right away. Honestly, it's seriously seductive. Flipside "Get What's Right" is a little more hip-hop flavoured (check the crunchy breaks) but every bit as smooth and soulful, with the pair's vocals riding atop a suitably twinkly, late-night musical soundscape.

Review: Contemporary hip hop projects don't come much hotter than this one, with features some of the genre's most vital modern talent talents on the legendary First World label. First up we have Manchester outfit Children of Zeus paired with Black Milk for 'Won't End Well,' a gloriously sweet cut with hard-hitting bars, deep beats and soul to spare. The one and only beat maker extraordinaire Tall Black Guy then joins forces with Allysha Joy for 'Sip Of You.' It has swirling and spaces out synths, gentle beat lurches and angelic neo-soul vocals up top. Perfection.
