Just weeks after dropping the Chet Faker alias and releasing Fear Less, Australian alternative R&B golden boy Nick Murphy has removed the veil from over another new song.
Stop Me (Stop You) was co-produced by DARKSIDE’s Dave Harrington. A deceptive electronic pulse intro quickly morphs into the solid, rhythmic funk and soul-inspired vocal for which Murphy is known. As the track progresses, heavily atmospheric vintage synths swirl about before climaxing unprecedentedly into a piano ballad.
It’s the meeting of multi-instrumentalists that results in the right ratio of synthetic and organic, and at over 8 minutes, it packs a genre-busting punch.
