With vocals that are sandy-smooth and a warm instrumental, rum.gold's latest release "Asleep at the Wheel" is a nostalgic listening experience that blends indie and r&b tastefully.
This is my first introduction with U.S.-based singer and songwriter rum.gold, and it’s his fluid, expressive vocal delivery that immediately stands out - this man does so much with his voice. On "Asleep at the Wheel", vulnerability and tenderness hang from his voice yet in a manner that exudes hope thanks to the contrasting lyricism. Beefy drums, glistening keys, and dreamy synth embellishments bolster the emotive nature of his performance, especially throughout the chorus when the track bursts to life.
