Akiine has released a new song as a follow-up to the last single “Paranormal Activity”. It’s called “Brixton”, a song that sounds more of dark electropop vibes than being jazzy this time, but she’s still in her very own whispering dream dimension.

Akiine is back with a new single, “Paranormal Activity”, which is also a taste of her upcoming EP “Neptune”, to be released on the 30th of October. The song feels like trip back to where I first heard her in a minimalistic music with her soft soul voice at the front. There’s a shimmer of retro patina over her vocals, like if she were a Billie Holiday of the 10’s, but at the same time I get the feeling that she comes from a different dimension, a dreamy, hypnotically beautiful and warm dimension. The best I’ve heard so far from Akiine.

I wrote about London-based Akiine a little more than a year ago when she released her debut EP with fine-tuned, soft soul. Now she has started to work with the Brooklyn label Color Station and released the single “Destiny”. And even if I recognise her sensitive vocals there is a different vibe here, a darker ambience where her voice flows through pulsating R’n’B-beats.

Akiine, or Akiine Kivelä Ngarambe which is her full name, grew up in Sweden (on Blueberry Mountains whereever that is?), but is now living in London. Her first single, “Sunglassey”, was released in Summer and the second one, “Frid”, a couple of weeks ago. It’s a dreamy vibe over these pop songs, emphasised by Akiine’s soft, innocent-sounding vocals, like if it was taken from a film about an imaginary place, maybe Blueberry Mountains?
