New single Motion features On The Fence and is the first taste of his upcoming debut album. A melancholy synth scale sets the tone over mellow keys and a snappy beat beforeOn The Fence’s beautifully smooth and heartfelt delivery glides in over funk-tinged R&B bass. Wantigga’s songwriting gives nods to classic ‘90s / 2000s R&B, but all delivered through the prism of contemporary electronic sounds. A sensual halftime section lets the bass tones and atmospheric textures, and the whole track is brilliantly structured and sequenced to keep it captivating throughout.
