Rarelyalways is an artist who stands alone, and can only be assessed on his own terms. You might hear hints of great British one-offs like Tricky, Roots Manuva, even a more laid-back Dizzee Rascal. You might hear trip hop, jazz, those undercurrents of rock, J Dilla style beat science, and more - you're free to apply whatever terminology you like: as RarelyAlways says, "I don’t complain about pigeonholes, I don't mind how you talk about my music as long as you're talking about it." But above all else, what you're hearing is RarelyAlways, a talent emerging fully formed, certain of who he is, ready to share importantlife lessons with the biggest possible audience.
