Earlier this month, BarlowLN popped up on the indie/electronic YouTube channel UNCVRD alongside artists like grandson and Saro, as well as remixes of tracks by Halsey and ODESZA. “Feels Good” was Virginia songwriter Evan Barlow’s nod to Zero 7, a dreamy number that picks up only when Barlow busts out a rap verse.
While he’s yet to announce a record, the musician has returned with a follow up single that’s, well, different, to say the least. Flexing his versatility, “Strange” is a modern hip-hop track blending conventional rap beats with acoustic guitar, resulting in something totally unique without ever really sounding strange.
