Gallant’s Weight In Gold breakthrough certainly seemed like one that would stand the test of time, and today he proves that he’s not a one-trick-pony by teaming up with Jhene Aiko for the even-more-voluptuous Skipping Stones.
At its core, the song is croon-fuelled soulful R&B at its absolute finest – Gallant’s wonderful falsetto accompanied by production from Adrian Younge, makes it feel, much like the singer’s aforementioned 2015 jam, that we’re about to witness something pretty special here. And whilst everything is built around the US artist, one can’t also forget the importance Aiko leads in paving the way for future-soulistic females.
Skipping Stones isn’t just a track you need in your collection, it’s also one you need to ensure you introduce to as many as possible.
