Listen "BREAK IT DOWN"
Episode Synopsis
Following three successful EPs, Spectoral has built a name for himself as an innovative collaborator, endlessly exploring the boundaries of pop, hip-hop and R&B. But he's never released a debut album... until now.
Boasting over 1.3 MILLION streams and a considerable fanbase, music publications such as Pilerats and Notion have compared Spectoral's sound to world-class contemporaries such as James Blake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Joji and Flume.
With BACKLIGHTS THAT BLIND US, the artist is finally ready to make the statement of his career, releasing Part I of an ambitious, double debut album, three long years in the making.
