Kaisha – Crossroads

Rising UK starlet Kaisha returns with yet another sublime fusion of R&B and soul through her new single, ‘Crossroads’.

Inspired by the doubt that we cast on ourselves from the decisions that we choose to make, the song’s lyricism feels honest and refreshingly relatable.

“2020 was a big blow to my mental health. I was also approaching my mid twenties, and during that I felt regret for not doing more things or trying out new things. Some days I would just blink and the day would end.” 

“With everything compounding I felt more and more unsure of the decisions I was making and that took away a lot of the control I had. Endless nights thinking about what could’ve been. ‘Crossroads’ is really about the chaotic headspace I was in when I was uncertain of my future.”

Widely hailed as one of the England’s most promising soul newcomers, Kaisha has garnered acclaim from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio 1 Xtra and Rinse FM.

Kaisha plays her first ever London headline show on the 7th March at The Social – tickets can be found here. Upcoming EP ‘Nine Yards’ is scheduled for release on the 30th March.

Kaisha – Ego

Continuing to prove herself as one of the UK’s most exciting R&B prospects, Brighton-based artist Kaisha returns with her stunning new single ‘Ego’.

Inspired by the heartbreaks that her friends have had to suffer from at the hands of terrible lovers, the song serves as a call to all the bad men out there to do better:

“This track is about men who pretend to be good guys. I often hear stories of situations where they’re incredibly nice to their friends but completely the opposite when it comes to the person in a relationship with them. Almost like a facade that they keep up for the outside world but when they’re complacent, their true colours shine through. Save us the time and don’t pretend to be something you’re not.”

This is the first single to follow on from Kaisha’s ‘If Not Now Then When’ EP (out now), and serves as a taster for the artist’s next wave of releases

Kaisha – Predicament

RnB hailing from the UK really is at a peak right now, and talents like Malaysian-born, Brighton based Kaisha are consistent proof of that fact.

‘Predicament’ is a deliciously experimental take on the genre, sounding fresh and eclectic yet still carrying a strong essence of that classic RnB sound.

The beautiful lyricism is delivered with distinctively emotive vocals, and focuses on the helping of a loved one who is mentally suffering in silence – but doesn’t want to reach out for help.

I think as the other person, you want to encourage them to open up and you want them to trust you. Essentially creating a safe space for them

New Music: Kaisha

A Brighton-based talent by way of Malaysia, this sound an indulgent piece of mellow and beautifully crafted neo-soul, which is easy on the ears and even easier to fall in love with.

The song itself is all about the internal demons that affect your personal identity as an artist. But that said, I found the lyrics relatable to anyone.

“This track was inspired by a time where I really struggled with my musical identity. I lacked kindness to myself which nearly made me fall out of love with music. I think everyone can relate to the idea of feeling like they’re in a race. In this day and age, it’s impossible to not compare your journey with others. The harsh reality is that there’s always going to be someone better than you, but once you accept that and focus your energy on yourself, the story becomes more about you and less about them.”
