Banoffee's rush-laden "Ripe" is a breath of fresh air
We don't know that much about mysterious producer Banoffee yet.
"Got It" - a track back from 2014 - introduced the LA-based Australian with a neat take on experimentally smooth pop and was followed by a similarly on-brand debut EP. It now seems logical to disregard that as a false start in light of "Ripe".
The new cut is a collab with quality creative hub 10K Islands and reveals a more confident, direct and infectious sound far from the Banoffee of three years ago. "I wanted to make something that made my tongue itch like when I smell salt and vinegar chips, like grazed knees or sucking lemons," she says.
"I’m testing my new machine and 'Ripe' is my first reaction.”
