The Space Between

Released in 2017 as the duo's second full-length studio effort under OVO Sound, The Space Between represents a refinement of the 'Toronto Sound' that Majid Jordan helped pioneer. While their debut was more experimental in its structure, this album leans into a more cohesive, synth-pop-influenced R&B aesthetic. Produced largely by the duo themselves with assistance from Nineteen85 and Stargate, the record features a cleaner, more hi-fi finish than their earlier EPs. The inclusion of label-mates PartyNextDoor and Dvsn adds layers of vocal texture without disrupting the duo's established sonic identity. Critics noted the album's 'unhurried' nature, praising its ability to maintain a consistent nocturnal atmosphere across thirteen tracks. It stands as a pivotal moment in their discography where they successfully bridged the gap between underground alternative R&B and polished, radio-ready electronic pop, solidifying their role as the OVO camp's most melodic and synth-forward act.
