Listening to Starchild is like ascending into the deepest pockets of space and sitting in a pool of glimmering stars. With oscillating synths and spacey electronic textures over smooth, deep vocals Starchild takes us on a trip out of this world. Bryndon Cook, the man behind Starchild & the New Romantics, has toured with big indie and R&B acts like Solange, Chairlift, and Blood Orange as a guitarist, and these artists’ influence is evident in his own work. At times dancey and at other pensive, Starchild’s debut album Crucial is music oozing purple, and covers the entire emotional spectrum. Take a listen below and catch him Baby’s All Right on 3.25. – Adriana S Ballester
