Éclat: Part 74

Tonight’s challenge comes courtesy of one of our own members, Alex Rapp! (FB / BC / IG)

Producer, singer, and songwriter Alex Rapp‘s unique style wraps Neo-Soul vocals around deep bass lines and trip hop rhythmic elements. Her electronic productions surprise the audience with modern arrangements and experimental manipulations of her voice.

Celebrating Alex’s latest EP release Spiraling she has collected a selection of vocal, violin, drum, and miscellaneous samples for your mangling pleasure!

Rapp recently released her Sophomore EP “SPIRALING”. Delving into breaking disruptive cycles in relationships and reclaiming control, Alex uses her unique maximalist production style and voice to transport you into her journey of self-acceptance and power.
