ANDRÆ’s Sublime Dive into “2D” Exploring Shallow Depths in Electro-Pop
In an era where music often treads familiar paths, ANDRÆ emerges as a sonic trailblazer with his latest electrifying creation, “2D,” a captivating blend of electro-pop that defies conventions. Released on August 18th as the fourth installment from his much-anticipated end-of-summer EP, this genre-defying anthem dissecting the quirks of fleeting attraction’s complexities is a thought-provoking exploration.
“2D” delves into the enigmatic realm of sudden infatuation, likening the object of desire to a cardboard cutout, intriguing yet superficial. ANDRÆ’s lyrical finesse vividly depicts the shallowness that often accompanies early connections. As you immerse yourself in the track’s sonic layers, you’re transported to a world where dark electro elements intertwine seamlessly with soulful vocals and intoxicating staccato synths. This marriage of disparate sounds exemplifies ANDRÆ’s prowess as a musical architect, shaping dimensions that push boundaries.
Hailing from the vibrant music scene of London, ANDRÆ defies categorization, weaving elements of pop, soul, R&B, and experimental electronics into his musical tapestry. A true creative polymath, he takes control of every aspect of his artistry, from writing, singing, and producing to crafting his visual aesthetics and music videos. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like FKA Twigs, Flume, and James Blake, ANDRÆ’s work has garnered recognition from esteemed platforms, including multiple features on BBC Music Introducing.
ANDRÆ demonstrates his boldness in embracing the unconventional with his song “2D.” The late-night atmosphere of the recording, made in the same space as Stromae’s last album, provides a unique soundscape that appeals to those seeking an escape from the ordinary. As the track gains popularity on playlists such as “an alternative future” and “the other list,” it becomes evident that ANDRÆ is not just creating music but experiential art.
Let the boldness of ANDRÆ inspire you to embrace your individuality and reject conformity in a world that often tries to fit people into boxes. He urges them to push the boundaries of creativity and choose to be a misfit. His track “2D” showcases his talent for crafting immersive musical experiences. Take a voyage through unexplored realms of electro-pop music with ANDRÆ at the helm as your newfound navigator, charting a course into uncharted waters. “2D” seamlessly blends diverse genres and emotions, inviting us to explore dimensions beyond the ordinary and embrace the allure of the unknown, leaving you longing for more.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
