Justin Martin – Hello Clouds

By simply looking at the cover art for Justin Martin’s new album Hello Clouds you’re given the sense that the concept of this album was to fuse the dark club house sounds with a more colourful, romantic and inviting element. Almost immediately after pressing play on the album you realise that Martin has managed to achieve what he set out to do.

Throughout the 13 track offering your ears are met with the sounds of bass and synth elements that wouldn’t be out of place in dark sweaty nightclubs. However at the same time the melodic vocals and piano elements give the tracks a much more soothing or romantic vibe which would see them more suited to a candle lit bedroom.

This is a really nice outing from the producer, who has been rising through the ranks rapidly. (JA)
