Noa vs AK Paul: So Good
Cascine’s Guilty Summer mix, School of Seven Bells, a PrivateJam by musician Jonny Nash and more in the music this week
Fans of the mysterious Jai Paul and his seldom but exceptional singles will delight in knowing there’s another way to hear more. Turns out, Jai has a brother named Anup (who goes by AK) and his talents are equally outstanding. With an ultra-sleek, hip-hop-infused approach to producing, it comes as no surprise to learn that AK has collaborated on albums with Jessie Ware and Big Boi, and has this week released a track with East London singer Nao on “So Good.” The song lives up to its name by combining Nao’s sensual, high-pitched vocals with a booty-shaking beat. Consider this one a musical aphrodisiac.
