London Singer Songwriter Yazmine MB has released her Chillingly Soulful single “I Do”

Posted on 26 May 2020

London-based Neo-Soul artist Yazmine MB released her tension-stripping, soul-baring single “I Do” on May 24th. If it’s been a while since an up and coming artist has given you chills, prepare for the prickling evocative intensity in I Do.

Yazmine MB’s voice will leave you searching for the right adjectives even though none seem to be able to accurately capture her harrowingly ethereal harmonies which perplexingly ultimately resonates as soothing. The poised and minimalistic Neo-Soul instrumentals share the same alchemic propensities to leave you spellbound whilst simultaneously leaving your soul full.

In a feat of lyrical ingenuity, Yazmine MB used the age-old declaration of commitment “I do” in a sublimely resonant homage to the act of giving in. The added poetic twist is the icing on this raw and intimate cake which will stay with you long after it has faded out.

Put Your Self-Worth in Check with Jaonere’s Standout RnB Soul Single “Hopeless”

Posted on 12 March 2020

For a track with such a pessimistic title, Jaonere’s single Hopeless serves up some seriously accordant soul.

The melodically mellow RnB Soul single invites you to slip into the artist’s introspection surrounding their self-worth. And it may inspire you to pontificate on your own. But don’t worry, there’s very little chance of slipping into an existential hole as you listen to the deeply romantic single unfold.

The magnetic grip of the vocal melodies in Hopeless isn’t something that we come across all too often. Neither is the sincerity in the vocal delivery. The London-based singer-songwriter may deliver soulful retro vibes through his music, but you’ll only need to hit play on Hopeless to affirm just how much commercial potential lingers in his sound.

You can check out Jaonere’s single Hopeless along with the rest of his 2020 album All We Have Is Now via Spotify.
