Allow me to expose y’all to the super dope chill music of lemin. This Toronto artist is making her first appearance on POD thanks to her debut EP, hold A: act 1, which boasts 4 tracks. Despite the minimalist production, the songs deliver plenty of emotion and drama and the project showcases lemin.’s songwriting is a treat no matter what kind of music backs her lyrics.
My favorite? It’s a coin toss between the dream-like feel of “Extension Cord” and its lo-fi keys that dance with the track’s peppering of Caribbean vibes as she sings about feeling inescapably attached, and the EP closer “Up & Up” thanks to those processed vocals and the bouncy production upon which she lays down vocals that warn you lemin. isn’t someone to fuck with.
It took me a while to finally give this a proper listen, but now that I have, I’m getting that familiar feeling we all experience after binging on a dope new show and hoping that the follow-up to its first season arrives ASAP. Stream hold A: act 1 below.
