How To Dress Well is often given a title that mean little to me called “R&B deconstructionist,” and which probably means very little to those who don’t use strange categories or genres. It makes me think that How To Dress Well is taking R&B songs and stripping them for parts. I doubt that’s how his creative process goes. But when something this different comes along, I guess we all need a way to describe it.
HTDW’s makes music plays out like the soundtrack to a dream. For his latest EP, the use of orchestral elements and soaring vocals feels enormous, but never complicated or jumbled. The above video has some commentary on it and the below track is just the song. Enjoy the deconstructing of R&B.
