Danielle Ponder – "Roll The Credits" (Weekly Music Roundup)

“Roll The Credits” is the name of Danielle Ponder’s new single, and it says a lot about the quality of Ponder’s voice that her singing remains the focus of your attention, even as your ear is continually drawn to the arrangement. The production, by Gianluca Buccellati (who’s worked with Lana Del Rey and Arlo Parks), has an unexpected trip-hop vibe, with a floating keyboard and cycling bass line. There are also wordless vocal effects and what sound like swooping sine wave tones. But Ponder is a powerful soul singer, and the combination of vocals and production yields something earthy yet also unearthly. The new single by Danielle Ponder, "Roll The Credits", is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
