“Feel Me” may be the most concise title Evan Voytas has come up with lately considering songs such as “Tomorrow Night We’ll Go Anywhere,” “Can’t Let Anybody Know Who You Are,” and the most recent single “You Don’t Even Know Where It’s At.” However, along with that mouthful is always a rich earful. Initially garnering attention for his contributions to bands of Flying Lotus and Gonjasufi, Voytas has easily shifted focus to his solo material over the last few years with his Prince-like falsetto and ability to play around with texture, space and melody. So, however short a title his forthcoming EP (out via Dovecote Records Tuesday) may have, it actually sums up his latest offering best. Perfecting all angles of experimental synth-pop, Voytas bounces around from sunny electro-pop to retro R&B grooves to a lush calm without losing the intensity of his emotions once.
