When Devin Morrison is in the picture, anyone who enjoys the smooth, sultry wave of timeless R&B and inventive soul should be, too. And with 李丁丁 (MIA AIM) sharing the spotlight, This Little Screen is a must-hear for the lovey, lusty, lonely, and listening. Rising from the pristinely interwoven bass line and synth strokes at its onset, the single quickly delves into the ethereal vocal range of 李丁丁 whose own register is perhaps the most immersive and enticing instrument on a track that offers no components existing outside of that description. Once Devin Morrison’s own signature old-school range works its way on stage after the hook, the duetting prowess of both is really what drives it home.

 

Old school but new wave, timeless but speaking on the modern issues of long-distance relationships held together by a screen, delicate, worldly, and experimental, This Little Screen is everything that is right with modern R&B music, even if it dissects everything that is wrong with human relationships as they intersect technology.
