Jez Dior—whom you may remember from the caustic banger of "Starts Again", a few months back—is now preparing to drop his next EP, The Funeral. Lead track "Clean Me Up" hits as hard you'd expect from Dior, but he softens some of the edges with the very restrained use of Auto-Tune, pitching down the refrain and shifting the occasional line here and there. Even the most hardened anti-autotunists should at least be able to appreciate the way it's used here. As ever, despite the attentive production, it's Dior's vocals that steal the show amply showing off his verbal dexterity and self-assured delivery. Watch the well-directed video for "Clean Me Up" below. Jez Dior's EP, The Funeral, comes out on November 18.
