French music label, Chinese Man Records, has been at the forefront of producing cutting-edge music since its creation in 2004. One of the label’s latest offerings is the 4th single, ‘Omen Key,’ from eclectic alternative-hip hop duo Odd Holiday. The single enters the Brazilian Psych realm, adding another dimension to the duo’s already diverse repertoire.
Innovative Soundscape
The track showcases the duo’s ability to push the boundaries of their sound while still maintaining their unique sonic identity. ‘Omen Key’ starts with an intense wall of synth before transitioning into a smooth Rhodes-driven groove. Mattic’s trademark verse reminds the listener to “bust the glass in case of an emergency.” The B-section features a psychedelic guitar breakdown that Mattic effortlessly flows over.
A Fusion of Genres
Odd Holiday’s ‘Omen Key’ is a fusion of multiple genres, including chill-out, funk, hip-hop, soul, trap, and trip-hop. The duo’s ability to blend these genres seamlessly is a testament to their musical prowess. The resulting track is a sonic journey that takes the listener through different soundscapes and moods.
Continuing a Legacy of Innovation
Chinese Man Records has always been at the forefront of producing innovative music. The label’s focus on sounds of hip-hop and electro origin has allowed them to extend their productions from trip-hop to bass music, including reggae and moombahton. With over 80 references, the label continues to make albums and tours for its artists in France and abroad.
In conclusion, ‘Omen Key’ is a testament to Odd Holiday’s innovative sound and Chinese Man Records’ commitment to producing cutting-edge music. The track’s fusion of multiple genres creates a unique sonic identity, distinctly Odd Holiday. The duo’s ability to push the boundaries of their sound while maintaining their distinctive identity makes them one of the most exciting acts in the music industry.
