“Recently” is a new track from Miko Payton, a hip-hop artist from Ohio. A lush, soulful vocal sample is aided by a melodic piano to comprise the beat, which is quickly accompanied by Payton’s infectious vocal flow. The confident lyrics mesh well with the floating-on-clouds feeling the beat exudes. 01:33 starts some successful, interesting production — with the track descending into a nocturnal, retrospective murkiness, with the percussive push at 01:57 showing Payton’s most infectiously ferocious delivery to date. “Recently” is engaging throughout its entire 02:30 runtime, from the initial melodic ease to the conclusion’s darker atmospheric pull. Check out more of Payton’s material via Spotify.
