Lou Val - “Sublunary du Son”
Toronto based singer/songwriter Lou Val is reinforcing the constant evolving alternative R&B sound with his song “Sublunary du Son” off of his project Tayo and The Dreamer. The instrumentation starts off light; the dusty drums meshes well with Val’s gentle thrumming vocals. This track is a journey towards hopefulness and seeks solace in tomorrow. Val’s voice is soothing and enhances those moments of zen throughout the song. His traditional elements are outshined by his free spirited inference.
