Play With Silver rolls with an analogue low-end rawness right from its opening bars. Welsh artist, producer, and writer LEMFRECK has hit upon a sound that sits at the intersection of grime, soul, and R&B. LEMFRECK’s pleading vocals yearning, sensual and needy all at the same time.
LEMFRECK cites diverse influences — Kane and D Double E, but also Stevie Wonder and Prince… If the former two are audible in the production style, it is in his melody and experimentation that LEMFRECK draws on Wonder and Prince. Growing up, his craft was honed working for gospel artists, learning that hard graft was the only way to escape one of the more economically challenged areas of the country.
