Why do we like this?
The term "mysterious London-based artist" is used quite frequently these days in music blogging, but always seems to herald something quite special beyond its simple ambiguity. The latest mysterious London-based artist to demand my attention is a singer-songwriter named PATRÃŒCE, and while there is absolutely nothing else known about him other than his name, his debut single "Smoke & Mirrors" certainly does all the talking.

At its core, "Smoke & Mirrors" is a soulful R&B number; however, the track contorts throughout, experimenting with a dark, electro-dub impression that is both calculated and thrilling at the same time. Sounding a little like Prince, PATRÃŒCE's vocals are passionate and exciting, while the rest of the song's delicate instrumentation and complex musicality occasionally appears to become predictable at points, before dramatically veering in the opposite direction of how you presumed it would progress.

As the deceptive song title "Smoke & Mirrors" suggests, this track requires you to look beyond its obscured exterior, and discover what really lies beneath its thick skin.
