Bending the ranges of genre can either be a diluted or pivotal approach to a body of work. As for hip-hop and R&B, there are decades worth of sonic collaging that have become even more pronounced in their recent years. The soulful vibrato of Durand over funky basslines to Nao’s synth-riding falsetto carry their own distinctive styles towards house on their albums. Airy grooves of pop throughout the entirety of *SOULAR*. The passionate brainchild of *Lotus* and its seemingly effortless performance of every genre it touches. All records have polish and no signs of alienating what the already artist does but rather amplify their sound by incorporating elements from other genres that flow well together.
