Sonic vibrations move to the subdued beat of 90s hip-hop – chopped and screwed. A melodic hook takes hold, grounded in entrancing vocals and catchy lyricism. You’re listening to the sounds of Dutch newcomer, Goldkimono.

His new release, “Does It Move You”, replaces the laid-back, carefree vibe of his earlier tunes with an urgent, almost-hypnotic sound. A song about self-reflection and self-maintenance, its playful chorus reminds us that to change the world, you first must start with yourself: “Don’t change the world/ Just change your socks.”

“It’s here to remind us of our vitality in a world where we tend to underestimate our own ability to take control of our lives,” the singer-songwriter explains, on the inspiration behind the new track. “We are not cemented into our personalities and conditioning. In fact, we can check ourselves out of the boxes we (or they) have put us in. If it moves you, that is…” Goldkimono, we’re definitely moved.
