RL Grime
“Reminder” (f/ How to Dress Well”)
VOID (out 11.18 on WeDidIt)
After three solid years of cranking out EPs, remixes, and singles, Henry “RL Grime” Steinway is finally ready to make a full-length statement. How to Dress Well’s expressive falsetto is the perfect partner for Stienway’s labyrinthine, emotive arrangement, and the artists combine to devastating effect here. While he is known much more for his club friendly cuts, the LA-based producer shows his chops as a songwriter, crafting a melodically lush canvas for Krell to glide over. It’s a new sound for Steinway, but it’s a welcome one.
