Kru and Cha Cha Malone Blend Soul and Intimacy in the Mesmerizing Single “Linen & Coffee”
When music has the warm sensibility of a morning embrace, beautiful and rustic as it is wistful and daring — then you know they are hitting that sweet spot, which "Linen & Coffee" does with its subtly intoxicating brew of soul-felt melodies and charmingly intimate musings. Kru's sultry voice slides smoothly over Cha Cha Malone beat weaving through out it creating a sonic blanket as soulful and warming as freshly laundered linens being hung up with the smell of coffee brewing. The track is just so chill and sensual, creating a nice warm barrier which should protect your love during the colder autumn and winter. Kru weaves stories in a way that pulls you into their world where time has little to no significance and each whisper or light touch is redeemed in his words and imagery.
With metaphors that turn the familiarity of linen and coffee into a sophisticated weaving of intimacy, the song is elevated. “Linen & Coffee" is a sonic pleasure not easily skipped, one that embodies the richness in textures and best of what Kru X Cha Cha Malone synergy showcases. Spotlighting Kru's stunning vocals and her ability to convey deep emotion through the slightest inflection, it is a standout track in current R&B. Clever metaphors that resonate coupled with a tangible synergy between the artists make this musical find stray away from your typical love songs. “Linen & Coffee” unfolds, revealing rich textures that get better each time you listen to it—a beautifully orchestral understated sexiness with both heart and smarts.
