Ben Fairey shares more gems from his back catalog on EP, "Destination"
On his continual path of reintroducing listeners to his music of the past, Ben Fairey has shared another gem in his discography with an EP titled Destination. Read on as we take an in-depth look into the record, as well as an update on the artist.
Instantly, Ben Fairey's Destination EP takes listeners on a musical journey through the depths of Future R&B and beyond. The EP's lead single, "Temples," is a shining example of Fairey's ability to blend soulful vocals with dynamic instrumentals, resulting in a track that stands out as the crowning achievement of the album. Though there’s absolutely more to uncover within the listen, he’s also accompanied the release with a music video that we’ve linked below. Without a doubt, it’s an experience we urge everyone to get into.
"Temples" is an introspective track that delves into the importance of protecting one's mind from false or negative perceptions. The lyrics, coupled with the smooth, sultry melody, create a mesmerizing soundscape that captures the listener's attention from the very first note. He goes on through the record on other standouts like “Aygm” and “Novocain” to do something similar, however each and every one of these singles act as standouts and standalone story lines.
Additionally, former Floe-Joe's Faces collaborator, Liam Beck, produced remixes of "Temples" and "Aygm" under the moniker StoneTowerz. "Aygm" became a minor hit on the UK dance scene, proving that Fairey's music has cross-genre appeal.
Throughout Destination, Fairey showcases his talent for crafting intricate arrangements that seamlessly blend elements of R&B, electronic, and soul music. The EP is a testament to his vision to create music that resonates with listeners on a deep, emotional level. Overall, it’s really a stand out album that solidifies Ben Fairey as a rising star in the world of music. With its thoughtful lyrics and masterful production, it's a must-listen for fans of R&B and soul music. Whatever else gets shared in the coming months, you know we’ll be right on it with a review.
