Portland artist Aminé is back with a new single, titled "Arc de Triomphe". Arriving ahead of his upcoming album 13 Months of Sunshine, the song channels the vibrant, fun-loving energy and genre-bending the musician is known for into a track that engagingly blends 2-step garage, hip-hop, and dance music. Sampling The Streets' classic "Has It Come To This?" in a refreshing manner, "Arc de Triomphe" is an unassuming, colorful track that combines smoothness with vitality for a refreshing listen.
"Arc de Triomphe" builds a hypnotic groove out of samples from The Streets' "Has It Come To This?", featuring crisp keyboards, bubbling percussion, and catchy bass. Overtop, Aminé sleekly delivers dynamic vocals that blend sharp rap flows with potent inflections. Capped off by a charismatic hook that distills the track's jovial energy, "Arc de Triomphe" is a playful, genre-bending cut that puts Aminé's character-rich style on display.
Arriving ahead of Aminé's forthcoming album 13 Months of Sunshine, "Arc de Triomphe" makes for a focused, light-hearted listen, while cohesively combining elements of 2-step garage, hip-hop, and more.
