It's rare to find an artist as consistently cutting-edge as "world bass" producer CloZee. Her ear for textured samples and intricate melodies is second to none, as demonstrated by her transcendent sophomore album, July 2020's Neon Jungle.
Pushing the envelope even more is the French musician's latest EP, Nouvelle Era, released via her own Odyzey Music banner. CloZee has managed to craft a true work of art with this release—one where each musical bar proves more interesting than the last. Its six soundscapes practically enter a new dimension, teeming with complexity and color.
The record's titular track, for example, reimagines funky trap synths into rich, almost alien-like bass ornaments. "Farewell," on the other hand, is built around a carefully engineered water droplet sample that proves blissfully multidimensional. Colorful synths explode like fireworks over a pounding drum beat on "Hold On" (with MOONZz), while "Brave" sees new, freeform melodies unfold throughout its entirety.
