Originally released digitally last October, Black is the debut EP from 21 year old Moko, a South London-based soul singer, here receiving a well-deserved vinyl release. Catching the attention of Chase & Status who promptly signed her to their MTA Records label, the singer is due for an album later in 2014, but until then, this fine EP offers a taste of what's to come. Although "Freeze" is a fine example of '90s-inspired broken beat and "Hand On Heart" offers some more hip hop flavour, the dubstep-inspired bassline of "Summon The Strength" and contemporary D&B textures of "Honey Cocaine" show she's an artist with a keen ear for contemporary sounds too. Really though, Moko's sublime vocals steal the show.
