London-based singer-songwriter Col3trane broke into the contemporary R&B scene in 2017 with the release of his debut mixtape. “Tsarina”, accumulated an impressive 3 million streams on Spotify within its first month. Since then, he’s continued to establish himself in the scene with his emotive but poised take on R&B in the stylistic realm of Frank Ocean, Jordan Rakei, and Daniel Caesar. Fueled by a diverse range of musical influences, including Motown classics, David Bowie, Prince, Michael Jackson, and renowned rappers like 50 Cent, Nas, and the Notorious B.I.G., Col3trane’s sound effortlessly combines soulful melodies with captivating lyrics. The Egyptian-American singer’s 2022 album “Lush Life” features acts like Grammy award-winning Lucky Daye, Brooklyn legends Flatbush Zombies, and a verse from Erick the Architect. Col3trane continues to captivate audiences with his versatility and unique sound. Col3trane’s artistic evolution promises to leave an indelible mark on the contemporary music landscape.
Nippa is steadily becoming an exciting prospect for the UK music scene and has gone from strength to strength since his breakout single “Situation” in 2021. His second EP “Not A Statistic” immediately earned him a stamp of approval worldwide and was a true introduction to an innovative, distinctive wave of music that he is determined to spearhead. Not easily defined but undeniably authentic. Delivering a mature sound both vocally and sonically is a process Nippa hasn’t taken lightly. He’s been honing his craft, studying the game, and uniting his influences and environment in a way that reflects a fierce commitment to continuously evolving. His most recent project, ‘INDUSTREETS,’ features singles ‘Around The World’ and ‘Sugar,’ featuring acclaimed rapper Larry June, and three further tracks that are summer playlist-ready.
Last month, Santino unveiled his introspective single, “Flawed By Design,” marking the start of a new music chapter. The release was accompanied by a captivating music video that featured Santino wandering the picturesque streets of Paris, offering a visual and emotional depth to the song.
