It’s always a good day when the Paul Institute surprise-releases new music.

The Paul Institute, Jai and A.K. Paul’s creative collective and record label, has released a new single from Sean Ruthven Nelson, the musician and ex-firefighter from London.

 

 

“Don’t Keep It To Yourself” is a slow burning and spacious cut of late-night 80s-tinged R&B that contains those trademark Paul Institute elements that I love: those spiked electric guitar notes from A.K. Paul, those sleek, chromatic synth chords, and those swirling falsetto auras.
