Fresh Selects: 2020 Highlights

Awakening

LOFS029

e O is the shared moniker of sibling artists eleu and Olson, whose debut self-titled album ‘e O’ arrives as a beautifully blurred portrait of two inner worlds colliding. Raised on parallel but distinct soundtracks, their collaboration captures the hazy overlap of childhood memory and present-day influence—filtered through a language all of their own.

The record shimmers at the edges of genre, folding together fragments of ambient pop, left-field R&B, experimental electronics, and traces of shoegaze. Olson’s production is built from gently layered textures that ricochet and swell, creating a sense of movement that feels both precise and ineffable, while eleu navigates the album with intimate, delicate vocals. It’s music that feels like stepping into a dream already in progress.

e O draws from a palette of softness and distortion, of digital haze and real-world textures, echoing those in-between hours where clarity and feeling drift in and out of focus. A work of intuition and subtle transformation, this is a debut that doesn't introduce itself loudly—but lingers long after.

Written and Performed by eleu

"Inhale The Sky"

Hold on, 
stay in control

There’s a reason
life comes and it goes

Make your way, 
live, grow and get old

Don’t let automation
take over your soul

Listen to yourself,
let your heart melt

Listen to yourself 
everyday

Everyday

Prototype Remixes

Reginald Chapman "We Shall Overcome (ewonee's Preserverance Mix)"

The debut single from LAPIS – a singer, musician, and producer from Auckland, New Zealand

Maxi-single with instrumental and single edit out now: freshselects.bandcamp.com/album/blue-in-orange

"I recorded the first version of this song in 2013 when I was turning 18. I came back more than once over the next 1-2 years. 

At the 2:57 mark I back come in to look back on what happened from a different perspective. In doing so I was able to process the story, that period in my life again, on a deeper level. 

At 2:57 it is like a reality check.. “Shit, this is what was really going down..” And the rest of the song – with the extended dance section and the darker tone – is really a grieving process, both for what was, and the dreams that never really were – the dreams of idealised love that never held any water. It is also a catharsis and transformation, of the pain and confusion. 

This reflective and retrospective process, captured as ‘Blue in Orange’ allowed me to tie this up and move on –> from blue into orange!"

"Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

Girl, I left you a note, 
What it said - I don’t even know 
But can't you reply? 
Even if you say no...

See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone.. 
See my rap game counting down, all along, all alone..

Ooh, ooh, ooh, my love 

Girl, I left you a letter
What it said - I didn't know better.
What I wrote - down I blush, 
Now when I think about it.

Girl, I wrote you a play, 
Starring me and you in the way, 
In which I thought it should be. 
But I didn't give you no say..."

LAPIS "10210"

Stream & download: https://bio.to/silhouettesproject

“Rising” by Summer-Pearl and produced by Alma De La Selva & Paya, is the fifth single from The Silhouettes Project. 
 
The Silhouettes Project is a new platform for up-and-coming Hip-Hop, Soul and Jazz artists from the UK. It is not a record label or management team, it is a community project. The Silhouettes Project provides an open space - a recording studio and live venue located within the Total Refreshment Centre in Hackney, London - where MCs, singers, musicians and producers can connect and create.

The Silhouettes Project was founded by community organisers/artists Asher Korner (aka Kosher) and Jaden Osei-Bonsu (Eerf Evil) in 2019. When they told us about the project and played us some of the music we were instantly hooked and joined the collective as label partner. The art direction is executed by Sergio “SagaUno” Alférez, an acclaimed designer and illustrator from Medellín, Colombia.

Starting in September, we release a new single each Thursday from artists like 
Kofi Stone, Summers Sons, Enny, KeepVibesNear, Manik MC, Lex Amor, Louis The Hippie, Summer-Pearl, Joe Beard and many more.

All 15 singles will also be available on one LP towards the end of the year.

Lyrics:

"How long to wait? 
How can I tell 
if it’s too late?
You... you make it so hard 
to tell 
where I stand
and where I should go

How long to wait? 
How can I tell 
if it’s too late?
You... you make it so hard 
to tell 
where I stand
and where I should go

You are the one 
and you’ve got me coming undone,
and I won’t give up,
until you tell me what’s up"

LAPIS "Where do we stand?"
