Fusing hip-hop and R&B suaveness with a nocturnal electro-pop soundscape, “Cornered” is the latest single from San Francisco-based artist Luke Petruzzi. The chilly synth work and lush vocals remind fondly of a cross between Junior Boys and James Blake.
Bubbly synth warbles slink alongside vocals reflecting a sense of suffocation. A suave synth-laden shift past the one-minute turn reprises the “I’m cornered,” refrain with added sophistication, as a deep vocal sample glides delightfully into an infectious synth arpeggio. “Cornered” is a stylish, infectious success from Petruzzi.
