Cast your mind back to those insane trip-hop groups of the 90s, I’m talking about the likes of Massive Attack and Portishead, now be prepared to be stunned by Parallel Action’s new single ‘Connect The Dots’. Parallel Action has been circling around in the UK’s hip hop scene for quite a while now, following recent support from XLR8R and Wordplay Magazine he now returns with his sick new single ‘Connect The Dots’. A single that features the ominous yet compelling voice of Tottenham MC WondRWomN, you really aren’t going to want to miss this one.
“‘Connect The Dots’ is a cinematic, illbient track with its roots laid in jazz, evident through the way the drum beat rides over the symbols, whilst WondrWomN’s voice glides perfectly over it”
WondRWomN has been doing the rounds in the UK’s hip hop scene for quite some time now, carefully curating her unique storytelling sound, whilst her niche style of rap relies heavily on incorporating soul, and jazzy production with live instrumentation. Moreover, when you combine her talents with the production skills of Parallel Action, you get something really fucking smooth. WondRWomN’s ability to create vivid stories with her music, combined with Parallel Action’s sonic storytelling, you get this incredible postmodern trip-hop sound that is sure to be at the forefront of everyone’s playlists before long.
‘Connect The Dots’ is a cinematic, illbient track with its roots laid in jazz, evident through the way the drum beat rides predominantly over the symbols, whilst WondRWomN’s voice glides perfectly over this. Combine this with the sound of sirens and the lyrics that detail a modernised story of current affairs, the listener is provided with a sensation to the ears from start to finish. ‘Connect The Dots’ is the second release from Parallel Actions forthcoming album, out Summer 2021, and alongside WondRWmN, the two have created an exceptional anthem sure to light up your summer with its emotionally engaging, and seeping intensity. This is a track you won’t want to sleep on.
