Gue$$who - Turkish Delight (Prod. OG Abi)

It’s a track so opaque, so gossamer light, so transient that it is almost impossible to assign it a genre, though if you pushed me (the most) ambient pop should suffice for now. It infuses together soulful, jazz echoes, whispered vocals, half-heard electronica and sultry musical touches into the most chilled of deliveries.

If some music seems to fit into a certain time of day, the getting ready to go out music, the music to have a few drinks to before the club, the midnight dance floor fillers and the apres-club chill out music, then Turkish Delight fits right into the latter category.

It infuses together soulful dance echoes, gentle vocals, half-heard electronica and sultry musical touches into the most chilled of deliveries.
