London artist Sekou unveils an empowering new single today to celebrate the launch of his highly anticipated debut EP.
Produced by Sounwave, ‘Forgiving Myself’ treats listeners to an unconventional twist on the soul-pop genre, and is taken from the acclaimed teenager’s new ‘Out of Mind’ record (out now).
“I wanted to have creative freedom on this [EP] and do something different from what I’ve done before. I loved having control over the kind of sound I wanted to make, the people I wanted to work with, and the tracks on the project – it was freeing and allowed me to be honest. I’m excited for people to listen to this EP and understand me more as an artist. While ‘Better Man’ showcased my vocal ability, this project shows my range, and what I’m truly capable of.”
Aside from the ongoing tastemaker praise that Sekou continues to receive, the artist has also grown a fanbase that includes global stars as prominent as Sam Smith, Anderson .Paak, Bruno Mars and Dua Lipa. It’s all quite incredible for a talent who is still only 18-years old… exciting days lie ahead!
