At times artists propel their art forward by sounding as if they have been around for decades through their approach, lyrics and execution. For Edzi'u, known simply as Edzi'u, their latest single "Sugar" is out now and is a near-flawless track they've crafted from a variety of highbrow pop styles and synth-soaked influences. The result is a concise, uber cool creation that should only heighten Edzi'u's status in both indigenous and electro-pop music circles both nationally and internationally.
Edzi'u shaped "Sugar" almost perfectly. It's a timeless-sounding nugget bringing to mind icons such as Stevie Nicks and Kate Bush, critically acclaimed performers such as Lucius and Sharon Van Etten and Chicago-based dance duo DRAMA. It's a musician whose work you can't help but return to once hearing them for the first time.
