ESS_WEST – Damn

It’s a big day for rising London artist ESS_WEST, who has just released his first new music of the year.

In true ESS_WEST style, ‘Damn’ effortlessly blends alternative R&B with melodic hip hop, showcasing a sound that is not only sleek but also future-forward in character. The lyrics were inspired by the artist’s thoughts on love, as well as the pain that sometimes comes with it.

‘Damn’ is taken from the artist’s upcoming ‘I love you, still’ project. We anticipate that ESS_WEST will become one of the UK’s next big rap talents, so be sure to keep him on your radars.

Watch: ESS_WEST – You

Brixton-based talent ESS_WEST returns today with some beautifully tender wholesome visuals to accompany his latest single, ‘You’.

Described by the artist as ‘a short tale of appreciation for what is yours’, the Garreth Chan-directed video employs storytelling and cinematic techniques to carry the message that you are enough for someone, regardless of life’s circumstances.

Since it’s release earlier in the summer, ‘You’ has found its way on to the airwaves of prominent outlets like Kiss FM, BBC 1Xtra and Capital Xtra – pushing ESS_WEST’s name further into the mainstream.

Inspired by the action of putting yourself first, melodic new single ‘You’ showcases the artist’s work perfectly. With its summer-tinged production and thoughtful lyricism, the song presents itself as one of the most impressive releases of the month.
