    Andrés - Believin' Andrés - Believin'
    Andrés - Believin' Andrés's music has always had a timeless feel. In the wake of "New For U," RA's track of the year in 2012, Believin' reasserts this idea more strongly than ever. This EP could have just as easily preceded "New For U" by five years as it could have been its follow-up.

    It goes without saying with a producer of Andrés's pedigree that none of the tracks here are concerned with being "New For U Mk II," though his knack for warm, disco-meets-jazz-meets-house is retained. The title track is the standout. Its looping male vocal—its only real point of similarity with "New For U"—is joined by an equally uplifting female one, as percussion and barely-there keys glimmer in the background. The thermal bass melody and gently echoing drums of "Can't Shake It" are the EP's most subdued moment. Closer "Jungle Pain," meanwhile, features cosy jazz-bar ambience and gorgeous, tumbling Rhodes notes given an extra edge by a distorted disco vocal sample. It's hard to think of many producers who could make doing what they've always done sound as exciting as Andrés does on Believin'.
