Posing as one of the most championed artists to arise from Leeds, ATO has graced supporters with the release of his highly anticipated EP named, ‘Side A’.
Spread across 5 tracks with no guest appearances, ‘Side A’ is a fluid project that pushes sound in multiple directions, making it impossible to coincide with any given genre. Housing pre-released singles “Muscle Twitch” and his recent digi-toned drop named, “No Caroline”, ATO takes the listener on a vulnerable journey as he uncovers the chaos that came with growing up Black in the Northeast of England, mental health, discovering his identity, and more. Closing out the project on “Nobu”, the Leeds native is able to peace, a newly found serenity, and in turn form a fresh perspective on life.
Continuing to prove why he’s an artist to watch, it’s clear to say ATO delivered yet another top-notch project!
