Bringing a remarkable 2020 to a close, Maya Jane Coles delivers two brand new tracks under her Nocturnal Sunshine alias available now on the deluxe version of her ‘Full Circle’ album as well as two much beloved B-Sides New tracks “Watchem Go” and “Bandit ft. CHAEY JONS” offer another chilling yet exciting glimpse into an artist internationally renowned for her unique and skillful creative vision.
Capturing Maya’s first love of hip hop, “Full Circle” followed on from her award winning 2015 eponymous debut LP as Nocturnal Sunshine and is widely acclaimed as a true representation of her musical identity. The album first teased with single “Pull Up” Feat. Gangsta Boo & Young M.A. was a capsule in Maya Jane Coles’ assured, bold production confidence; continuing her line of grungy breakbeats and uncovering new depths in hip-hop and trap-esque realms.
Muscly subterranean, “Watchem Go” with an intriguing garage tone pulses to a climax; firm against the brackets of house music - stubborn to adhere to the style’s typical 4/4 feel. The dark grime depths of Maya’s impeccable trademark production alongside vocalist CHAEY JONS seen previously on ‘Dash’ and ‘F*ck Fame’; continue with new cut “Bandit” with characteristically chilling results.
Distinctively murky the two new tracks sit alongside previous b-sides “Heroes” and “Radiate” all capturing Maya seamlessly navigating through ranging tempos and moods; all unified within an unmistakable Nocturnal Sunshine sonic sensibility. Previously released Nocturnal Sunshine singles ‘U&ME’ and ‘Foundation’ feature on the package alongside bumpin’ cuts ‘Tied Up’, ’To The Ground’; un-earthly vocals and gritty bass a-plenty throughout.
Maya invited a collective of close friends and peers to collaborate across the project; each artist encapsulated in the fresh sound-wall that is upon first listen unquestionably Nocturnal Sunshine, reflective in class and focused in statement.
Opening with a cinematic and acutely pensive feel, ‘Wildfire’ features Berlin via Buenos Aires rave punk, Catnapp. A downtempo affair, the nature of Catnapp impacts with attitude over Jungle-esque breaks. Calling upon similar rave influences Queer Alt Queen, Peaches on ‘Possessed’, before the haunting and enigmatic vocals of singer-song writer Chelou takes hold on closing track ‘Something About Drama’
Elsewhere, the world of Nocturnal Sunshine unfolds in differing forms, introducing the wraithlike yet delicate vocals of Ry X on the experimental ‘Gravity’ and the soulful leaning chords of Thomas Knights on ‘Closed Eyes’. Unearthing hip-hop insights throughout, skit-style interludes ‘I’m Ready’ and ‘Lessons Of Life’ provide intelligently crafted periods of relief from the gripping intensity and breadth of the project that her huge fanbase continue to crave.
Whilst the presence of legendary Three 6 Mafia’s Gangsta Boo on ‘Ridin’ Solo’ and ‘Pull Up’ ft Young M.A. anchors the urban roots of Maya as a producer married with the dark depths of CHAEY JONS on ‘Dash’ and ‘F*ck Fame’; a pair of distinctively murky dubbed out grime cuts.
Nocturnal Sunshine’s ‘Full Circle’ Deluxe is OUT NOW via I/AM/ME via BMG.
