Last year's This Is Our First EP from Berlin duo BLYNE was a head-turning collection that rightly put the pair on the map, due in no small part to their knack for crafting smooth and ethereal R&B. Now they're back to cement that reputation with new single "Are You Real". While the EP was relatively heavy on vocal collaborations (shout out Novaa, L Devine and B O K E H), "Are You Real" sees the pair sounding more like a band in the traditional sense, although those heavenly R&B tones are still right at the forefront. With this sonic shift in mind, it'll be interesting to see what the coming year holds for them.

"'Are You Real' marks the first step towards a direct, unfiltered and very personal sound for us," they told Complex via email." The writing and especially the melodies are inspired by our teenage past of growing up under the influence of guitar-based rock music, while being merged with a modern and minimalistic beat producing approach."
