Review:
Having impressed us with his release on Med School's New Blood 011 last year, Flame comes up trumps with this delightful new offering on Soul Deep Recordings. A two-tracker of 172bpm bliss, the Solitary Shores EP kicks off with the title track, which is a trumpet-tooting, shimmying slice of soulful D&B, with sonorous vocal snippets, warm, undulating bass and booming subs. Chiming instrumentals add even more delicacy to the proceedings. The accompanying "Love Slow" is another smooth number, with R&B vocal, polished piano keys and gently tripping beats.
