Installment one in a series of five EPs, The First Transgression delves into the hyper-modern yet lo-fi musical aesthetic Tunde Olaniran has carved out as an artist. Blending dance, electro, hip-hop and rock, the Flint, Michigan native transgresses against the boundaries of pop music. Traveling from the dark club bass of Cobra to the synth-driven anti-love anthem User Manual, Olaniran’s first statement in a longer musical narrative hits hard and keeps the momentum from start to finish. Detroit’s Miz Korona and Berlin’s Chris De Luca lend incomparable talent to the release, which finds parallels with Prince, Kraftwerk, Robyn and Santigold.
