We recently featured Trevour Amunga for his emotional and cerebral EP, Vespa, so we were thrilled to hear that he had just released the brand new, Sweet Touch.
Immersing us with wavy, strummed guitar, Trevour Amunga opens Sweet Touch with hums as the opus expands with a luscious alternative-R&B soundscape, an intricate beat and the situational lyrics, “I found myself in 96 when I started yea, I found myself up the hill when I started yea, I found myself in 96 when I started yea…”
Sweet Touch evolves into a dimensional soundscape with a dynamic performance from Trevour Amunga. We love the layered vocals in the hook and the grunge-style delivery from our protagonist. Trevour confesses, that the song is “simply my dedication to music [and] how it helps me cope with the world around me.”
We appreciate the poetic nuance of the composition and the authenticity and depth that Trevour Amunga shares with his signature soundscape. Lyrical highlights include the profound, “This world could’ve been more polite, impression that it’s left on me disturbs my mind…”, and the lines which sum up the message of the song and Trevour’s charming personality, “I find my solace in this music shit you know the cliche, but I’m for real its the reason that I do get up in the morning sometime around noon…”
Speaking on the meaning of Sweet Touch and his connection with music, Trevour confesses with depth, “I often find myself going through the motions in life, and everything just feels monotonous and dull. Music is the one thing that gives me a reason to keep going, a reason to get up in the morning and actually look forward to the day, and to my future. Music adds purpose and meaning to my life.”
Trevour cites Kendrick, Outkast, Young Thug, Blu and Sly as some of his influences, although it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own. Sweet Touch was recorded at the Golden Impala Studio in Los Angeles. It was produced by Pilot kid, and mixed and mastered by Darius Porter.
We have added Sweet Touch to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Trevour Amunga‘s emotional and cerebral EP, Vespa!
