Violet [2021] - As Of Now [Down 2 a Science] (Full EP)

I can't find any about this artist but the indications are that she is from Florida. She appears to have debuted in 2018 with a three track EP 'UltraViolet' in collaboration with a few other artists. 

Her new EP 'As Of Now', released 26 Apr 2021, consists of five  tracks. It has the same vibe as Hari, JGrrey, Tyson, Tree etc. with an ambient, dreamy sound with Sadesque vocals. Probably not one for the purist but I quite like the sound, more 'soulful' than soul I guess. 

I would have selected 'Atmosphere' as my favourite until, yes you guessed it, the 'obligatory' token rap from Marlo Smith kicks in at 1:36 right through to the end, so 'Mantras' gets the prize.
