We’re enthralled with "Gravity", the first track from Alex Rajabi’s alias Plaster Cast since last year’s debut "Sunless". A spiritual transmigration of the prophecized "future of R&B" duo Malta, Rajabi shifts weight in this tandem production with the self-proclaimed GodKing BRAH1M. A current that rides the minimal structure of "Gravity" exemplifies the sublation of hip-hop and electronic music without washing out the je ne sais quoi of Plaster Cast’s past life, from the vocals of Michaela Wilson (previously featured in Malta’s "Out of Bounds") to the permeating future rhythms. But something was left behind in the metempsychosis, whether real or perceived, and we can’t help but listen again and again to find this void, this absence that haunts and beckons our ears.
