Soulful Ghosts have unlocked the panoramic magnificence of a quiet storm. 

Today, the musical link-up of Singaporean doyenne, Vanessa Fernandez, she of the honeyed, all-powerful, dusky coo, and Australian guitarist and producer Nic Robertson, released its debut self-titled EP into the ether. An official release reveals that the duo's three-track set has its genesis in the pair's shared love for the canons-spanning magic of D’Angelo, Max Martin and Pharrell and subsequent jams that ensued between it.

Across the 11-minute runtime of their transmission, Soulful Ghosts exhibits multitudes. Each of its three songs is imbued with a distinct type of spectral magic that finds the sweet spot between beauty and devastation; each song has a rosary of images that is utterly enveloping; each song is soundtracked by the war cries of the dramatis personae (i.e. anger, hurt, reeling confusion) of the psychodrama that is love. R&B is the duo's most effective narrative device but its role within the Soulful Ghosts universe is urgent and active. None of this is background music.

New Music Friday^Tm releases are usually chipper and weekend-ready but Soulful Ghosts is the needle in the haystack that'll move you in a wholly different way – and draw blood.
