Juvelen
EP
Hybris
It's a hit! Four tracks of steamy r&b pop (plus an additional remix) really sets the standard for Juvelen. "Watch your step", "Summer spring" and "Of course I remember" are three slow-moving tracks meant to be played post-late night soirées, preferibly with a glass of wine and that special someone you've been making eyes with all night; and the Revl9n remix of "Watch your step" is a deconstructivists fantasy. However, the true centerpiece (and aptly-placed middle track) of this set is "Hanna", a dance-floor gem brimming will pulsing bass and drums. I've quickly become convinced that Juvelen could very well be on his way to pop stardom.
