California-based singer and songwriter Kwesi Foraes is back after a 7-year hiatus, and we have to say… it’s been worth the wait.
‘Detroit (The Thread)’ is taken from Kwesi’s first instalment of his‘Trinity’ project (out now), and showcases a powerfully emotive blend of soul, indie and alternative R&B. The sound is intense, distinct, and instantly captivating to experience.
“June 2021 I recorded the demo for ‘Detroit’, January 2022 I was fortunate enough to get together with some amazing musicians and people to record the final version at Sargent Recorders. Now June 2023 I’m happy to finally share this.”
“I had to accept the memory of you and let go of the idea of forever.”
As a tastemaker’s favourite, Kwesi’s work has received praise from the likes of NPR, Fader Magazine and Vice, as well as Amy Winehouse’s manager, Ray Colbert.
