Music to instantly remove the haste and hassle of a busy season – Fuma captures the essence of calm, with the aptly-titled, ambient, dreamy, and melodically soothing Sit Down x100.
Featuring an instantly alluring instrumental set-up, combined with an intimate and expressive yet refreshingly quiet, humble leading voice, Sit Down x100 follows a uniquely atmospheric soundscape, through organic guitar and rhythms, towards the warped fusion of natural world fragments and genuinely dream-like sequences.
Meanwhile, the song enchants performatively, for its long-form melodic developments, and the revealing heartbreak and uncertainty of the lyrics. The contrast is wild, the switch to rap injecting a sudden degree of personal grit and added dynamic, and the track still cleverly maintaining that deeply comforting musical aura.
Creatively intertwining delicacy and darker depth, Fuma impresses and connects with this release, showcasing subtle hints of modern influence in the emo-melodic-rap and the brief old school hip hop moments, but otherwise elevating a style that’s distinctly unique, interesting, and engaging to let play.
Sit Down x100 is a strong introduction to the artist, and hopefully speaks volumes on behalf of what’s to follow from the UK’s own Fuma.
