ByPatrick St. Michel September 4, 2018

After a handful of songs embracing throwback pop, FNCY give themselves a little more space on “Silky.” Besides striking a balance between three artists that results in a really good mash-up, FNCY has been a showcase for G.

Well this is definitely welcome. Osaka label Perfect Touch shared a soothing collection of songs from producers hailing from all over the place, and the title really does just sum it up — Peace Of Mind: A Compilation Of Calming.
