Hamzaa – Heaven
Hamzaa dropped her 7-track E.P yesterday entitled ‘Full Circle’ and it is an amazing body of work. She describes the project in her own words as “So different, but so true to who I am as an artist”. ‘Heaven’ is the stand-out track for me, and I will most definitely be spinning this on 1Xtra’s R&B show this Sunday.

Sasha Keable – Killing Me (ft. Jorja Smith)
Who would have thought their voices would work so well together? Sasha Keable linked up with West Midlands superstar Jorja Smith for their break-up ballad ‘Killing Me.’ In an interview, Sasha detailed the inspiration behind the track, stating the song is about women finally realizing their worth. She also drew references for the video from Beyoncé & Shakira’s ‘Beautiful Liar.’

Sevyn Streeter – Nasty Girl (ft. Bia)
‘Nasty Girl’ is taken from Sevyn’s project ‘Drunken Wordz Sober Thoughtz’ which is expected to drop later this month. ThIs track is the perfect balance of bedroom naughtiness and sexy R&B vocals. Bia, best known for her TikTok hit ‘Whole Lotta Money’ also features on ‘’Girl.’

Make sure you tune into 1Xtra’s R&B Show with yours truly, this Sunday from 10pm. This week I’ll be sitting down with the amazing vocal powerhouse that is Jennifer Hudson. Alana Soul will also be handling the #RNB1TAKE.
