Alaska & Aurora have mastered the art of the space in which the song exists. Add in sublime vocals, poignant lyrics, striking imagery, and organic musical progressions that blissfully lighten the weight of the world, and this album proves an absolute highlight from the year so far.

Kicking into gear with a refreshingly minimal verse vocal, and a soundscape that feels familiar in its electro-pop realm yet also walks a notably different pathway to the vast majority of releases, Do You Know proves an unorthodox yet striking, enjoyable alternative hit.

The very structure of the track swiftly sees things evolve from pure RnB through hip hop to the near EDM-esque bounce and immersive embrace of an instrumental hook.
