Hot Jam of the Day: Palmistry, “Lifted”

“Lifted”
Pagan (out 06.17 on Mixpak)
Benjy Keating releases another heartfelt single from his upcoming proper debut LP. Like its delicious predecessor, “Club Aso,” “Lifted” is a restrained, stripped take on dancehall that uses warm keyboards to set the beat, rather than traditional percussion. Keating manages to borrow from the Jamaican sound without crossing the line into imitation or appropriation, creating a sound that is fresh and exciting.
