Soulful dubstep is the future! Look at artists like Jamie Woon, The XX and James Blake. They’re very popular! There is a promising new name to add to this list, the name Alex Clare
The Englischman, blessed with a powerful soulvoice, is being supported musically by heavy wobbly bass, dynamic riffs and exhilarating dubstepbeats. Important fact; this music is being produced by Diplo and Swith, a.k.a. Major Lazer. Major Lazer is one of the most influential producer duo of catchy and mainstream dubstep.
James Blake and Jamie Woon incorporate electronic elements into a melancholic soundtrack, yet Clare chooses the more explosive way. Soul, dub, reggaeton and funk are all being incorporated in sublime popsongs where a Jamie Lidell-esk voice fits perfectly. His debut album “The Lateness of the Hour” and the megahit “Too close” were praised by the critics, so it means that this artist is bound to be one with a promising future.
