Shura - Indecision

It’s more difficult to restrain from quivering at one of Shura’s tracks than it is playing The Impossible Quiz inebriated. Sure, sceptics may say that it’s just the hip-shaking beats that lace the Londoner’s tracks - but there’s something invisible at work that is intermingled between the sassy synths and teasing basslines – it’s a feeling of infectious excitement. With only a handful of tracks released, Shura has unleashed a serious wave of frenzy on the blogosphere; and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see why.

‘Indecision’ is the perfect Exhibit A to any possible naysayer; it boldly places itself half-way between the tropical-flecked tunes of La Roux’s new album and the deeply atmospheric sound of Jessie Ware. Synth pads and bass marry together beautifully, as a tiered cake of hooks is gradually built-up, ready to be scoffed-up by the hungry pop masses. The track may deal with the issue of uncertainty, but even after only a few songs it’s not hard to have your mind made-up – and buzzing with excitement – over Shura’s beginnings.
