TRACK REVIEW: Malik Abdul & Uncle Mezz: Last Summer

“It’s so spiritual…” begins Last Summer, Malik Abdul’s collaboration with Uncle Mezz. Right from the start, Malik cushions us into a hazy, tropical beat; the kind that is synonymous with the summer sun.

Staying at the same steady, relaxed pace throughout, Malik’s latest single is ideal for when you feel like mellowing out, and as the track implies, you’re feeling a little spiritual. His voice is calming, with an electronic buzz surrounding it that contrasts nicely with the acoustic beat, a hint towards his flair for genre-blending. Malik has been praised for his ability to weave lyrics into rhythm and harmony, and Last Summer is no different, his words bouncing off the drums with ease.
