LYMA - In Between Shifts (2019)

Smooth neo-soul grooves with an eclectic, experimental twist are what you get here, courtesy of Dutch singer-songwriter/producer LYMA and Amsterdam label INI Movement. 'It's Ti' recalls the likes of Omar or Finlay Quaye, while 'Hibernate' is a jazzier groove and has a vaguely Tru Thoughts-y feel. 'Bigger' is a more downtempo number and definitely built for those late-night one-on-one moments, before "Surinam soca soul" jam (their description) 'Fading' ups the tempo considerably. 'Bagdadway' then closes out proceedings on a squelchy bruk beat tip, with the EP as a whole marking out LYMA as a talent worth keeping an eye on.
