Fine Print’s outline is the sort that might turn tired listeners away: Mysterious group marries falsetto R&B croon with sparse, sexy beat. The Internet hype cycle plays ad nauseum.
In the case of Fine Print, the end product makes the packaging palatable—the skeletal, swung funk of the production playing the backdrop a clear-voiced performance. New single “Can’t Lie” is a refreshing take on alt-R&B, a bit closer hewn to the energy of The Ummah than haze of Soundcloud production so often prevalent in the genre.
Listen to Fine Print’s debut song “About You” below.
