Rationale is a newish producer out of East London. The equal parts modern R&B/pop and history of UK rock “Fast Lane” contains snippets of influence spanning from Noah “40” Shebib to Johnny Marr. The resulting genre diverse melange is notably held together well by some skilled arranging and writing from Mr. Rationale. Stream the B3 Premiere of Rationale’s “Fast Lane” below and look for a four track EP in the summer.
