We dig the minimalist hip hop-influenced pop of new NYC duo The Grand Affair. The piano/beat-based track “Work Week” is maybe simple in its lack of complication but is special for its melody-works-so-keenly-in-the-beat mechanisms and the spaces where the tune does become more complex ie: those piano scale runs in the verse and those space lazer synth embellishments that help add tension. Sample “Work Week” below.
