A colorful, head spinning sound like no other is what can be used to describe an artist like Ivy Leeg—truly in a league of his own. Raised in and around Pretoria, South Africa, the musician (born Ivan Mashimbye in 1997) started writing music in his mid-teens, drawing inspiration from hip-hop, house, electronic music and R&B—a sound that represents what hip-hop and dance can do. On the “Linger On” single, the Pretoria artist enlists a guest feature to make a dance track that is both soulful and at the same time futuristic. The track, featuring Fentse., bumps along gently, letting the singer glide over an easy house beat, Ivy’s signature flow upbeat but still smooth. This embarks a completely new sound from Mr. Leeg, which is visibly inspired by the likes of KAYTRANADA and Disclosure.
