Is your heart a stalled ship that won’t let you get over a shattered love affair? “Entire,” the new single by M&O (a.k.a. Milo & Otis) might be the medicine your wounded ticker needs right now. The buzzworthy Chicago-based duo has created a sound they call “adventure soul.” It’s genre-twisting R&B with influences that span from experimental trip-hop to classic soul.
Singer Jamila Woods is truly a star-in-the-making—a subtle, ethereal vocalist whose presence on the song belies the packed punch of her words. The production of Owen Hill (Otis) takes listeners into pure analogue-warmth; heavy on the bottom, with lush, precise instrumentation that’s the perfect vehicle for Jamila’s poetry.
