Back when Bo Rocha spoke to us in May, the classically-trained songsmith admitted that when writing she joneses for the kind of motif that simply "sparks a physical feeling - I'm always chasing that feeling." Well, with her new track "Enough For You", Bo Rocha has satisfied her both her own addictions and those of her growing followers.

Within "Enough For You" Bo Rocha manages to foster her fervour for experimentation within the conventionalism of music, while packaging it in a guise that makes you want to move. Its beats, sketched and stuttered, are crude yet often hang obtusely in the same way your understanding of your world is warped through a gurn at 3am.

But talking about this track and not mentioning the evasive, entrapping lead vocal would be like trying to watch Art Attack re-runs without meeting eyes with Neil Buchanan: simply impossible. The London singer's matchlessly acrobatic voice has become essential to the sound of this project. And the way she glides in-between phrases and intervals with such an unorthodox flair on this piece will intensify her watermark on your brain.

"Enough For You" is taken from her forthcoming EP, Hold My Gaze, released on September 9 via Bait and Switch Records.
