It isn’t always polished pop beats and brilliant songwriting skills that I look for from emerging artists. Sometimes I see past those things if I can see the potential to develop and improve in a musician. LA-based Kenyan pop artist Binoy<\/strong> is one such newcomer who falls into this category. After amassing favourable responses to his own self-penned and produced efforts Binoy wants to push his music skills further and has begun collaborating with the producer Arthur Besna<\/strong> for the first time. “Cruel Intentions<\/strong>” is the first release from the aspiring pop concern and Besna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dreamy synth vibes is a change of pace for the newcomer, but he takes the switch in style in his stride and delivers his best electronic-pop track yet. Truth be told, when I gave this track, its first spin, I became most entranced with the lush, sonic textures and production. In a teensy way, the track, got me thinking about The Sound of Arrows<\/strong> and the sense of splendour and wonderment their music evokes. Before I knew it also took me along a different vein, a very bouncy pop style taking a leaf from the 80s. Two of my favourite styles, of music, rolled into one. Is it no wonder that my mood changed in an instant, upon listening to the feel-good vibes emanating from the song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Listen<\/a>\n\n\n\n
