Fresh sounds from Osunlade. "Dating Game(1)" is a Prince-like ballad with a polished nu-soul sound. I really picked this one up for the flip though... "The Promise(2)" is truly leftfield for Osunlade. He forgoes his traditional dance sound and goes for some high dramatics with swirling synthesizers, rolling beats, and advanced sonic design. Experimental, mental, yes.
