The brilliance of Speakman’s “Without.U” lies in its ability to be raw and soulful at once, thanks to the way the vocals lock in effortlessly with the instrumental.

Speakman are two brothers based in London, making future post rave anthems and deeper electronic cuts that take you somewhere special. This is exhibited on “Without.U” as the vocals are emotionally charged and accentuated by the romantic lyricism. Where things get interesting is in the production. The drums are thunderous, the synths are bright, and the final section of the track feels quite cinematic. If you’re a fan of BICEP and even the earlier works of Franky Wah, this is definitely for you!
