Austin Mahone smoulders on new R&B tinged track ‘Places’. Ooh er.

Austin Mahone delivered one of the pop EPs of the year with the release of ‘The Secret’ earlier this year – a melting pop of early 00s inspired bubblegum pop with an edge – but it looks like he’s slowing things down a bit with a new song that’s just popped up on his Soundcloud.

Getting in touch with his inner R&B crooner, ‘Places’ is a sexy, laid back jam with plinky pianos, minimal beats and saucy lyrics like “got you screamin’ out oh oh ohh”. AHEM.

Blimey. We think it might be getting a little hot here in the MP! office. *fans self*

What do you lot make of Austin’s new sound? Do you fancy more music like this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below…
