AURA | New Single ‘Smashing’ Boasts Fresh Flow
New Zealand has been a Hip-Hop hot bed as of late. The NZ artist AURA just dropped his melodious, ear candy single, ‘Smashing‘ produced by SOUTHPOLAR. The track is doing modest rounds all over the internet in it’s first month of release and is receiving well deserved love. The numbers are not catastrophically large, but in due time that will change drastically. ‘Smashing‘ is available on every major streaming platform.
Take these fools back to war, TDM
The mood on this joint gives off early Young Thug and A Boogie vibes. AURA displays a lot of melodies that are infused within each other, and equips the strategy of not pronouncing words fully. His flow dances modestly along the lines of mumble rap, but blends in gracefully with modern Hip-Hop. His sound is very captivating, and draws you in immediately as soon as the chorus starts. He wastes no time getting to the point of the song, and speaking about the energy that he cultivates. Based off this track, his energy is clearly represented confidently. The mixing on this joint is top notch as well. His lead vocal is enhanced brightly and is mixed perfectly in front of bouncy 808’s and somber piano melodies. What is even more impressive is that AURA mixed and mastered this track himself. Kudos to the New Zealand rapper who dove into other areas of Hip-Hop where a diverse skill set of engineering vocals can take you far. It is clear from this track that AURA is fully aware of his strengths and plays on those beautifully. An awesome listen for most occasions- from bumping late at night on the high way, or even blasting in the club. This is definitely a track you want to get in rotation.
