Rising producer FTSE (aka Sam Manville) accompanies his latest single ‘St. Tropez’ with everyday, monochrome visuals, highlighting the benefits of karaoke as a remedy for the desire to escape.
Having supported AlunaGeorge earlier this summer, the Midlands RnB beatmaker is set to release his second EP FTSE II via Lucky Number Records on 30 September, and this cut hints at its quality; typically intuitive rhythms, subtle electronic sampling and a soothing guest vocal from Atlanta’s ForteBowie ensure a wonderfully juxtaposing smoothness, alongside the monotonous action we are exposed to.
Take the trip together with the brand new video from this exciting UK newcomer.
