If you're looking through escapism through music, look no further than new singer, producer and film composer Meanwhile.
Releasing his debut track last week through SoundCloud, hypnotic beats, synths and futuristic sound waves are woven between his intensely unique vocals.
While it is easy to see where he draws the Prince comparisions from, he's definitely an artist in his own right - mysterious and alluring in the way that he's not a completely open book.
Here I am left truly stumped. At first I wasn't sold but as the track goes on I can feel myself wanting more. It's something like nothing I've heard before - intense in its capturing of your attention but soft at the same time.
Meanwhile is someone I want to hear more from, so his job certainly must be done.
