Live Review: VILLETTE 'Sedate'

19 year old New Zealander VILLETTE is the definition of a one-(wo)man-band; writing, singing, producing, DJing, you name it - she's doing it. She is also one of those "by chance" finds on the internet that gets you immediately hooked and desperate for more.

Possessing one of the better voices I've heard in a while, her smoky blend of RnB, soul and electronic elements makes for a smooth backdrop for her voice to glide over. Effortlessly, her vocals fall soft but powerful in her track 'Sedate', a track taken from her EP Crimson Girl. Warm synth chords and skittering beats kick the track off, before cymbals and Villette's to-die-for voice soulfully sighs her intimate lyrics.

'Sedate' is one of three tracks on her EP, and opens up for 'In The Sheets' and 'Devine Appointment'. Both of these tracks also show off a different side of Villette, from her rapping chops in 'In The Sheets', or her future-RnB stylings in 'Devine Appointment'. All three tracks fit perfectly together, complimenting her range of styles without being overdone or overshadowed.

Villette has only been releasing music for just a few months on her SoundCloud, but it takes just one listen to see there is a lot going on with her. There isn't much word on anything else in the works right now, but thankfully the internet exists and you can connect with her on Facebook as well as SoundCloud.
