With a gift for crafting razor-sharp electronic pop and quaking R&B ballads, Labrinth emerged in the late ‘00s as both a sought-after producer and a solo star in his own right. The rousing, Tinie Tempah-assisted “Earthquake” is built on a foundation of taut, rasping synths, while the bare soul of the piano-led “Beneath Your Beautiful”, featuring Emeli Sandé, reveals his softer, more vulnerable side. A lot of his finest work has come when lending his talents to other artists—take The Weeknd's “Losers”, a thumping collage of propulsive electronics and swooning strings unlike anything else in Abel Tesfaye's canon.
