sona blue – window seat + no violence

Over the past year, we’ve come to grow a special fondness for London-based singer, songwriter and producer sona blue.

The acclaimed artist has returned with some of his best work yet, and we’re so excited to be sharing it with you.

‘window seat’ presents listeners with a beautifully atmospheric mix of alternative R&B and lo-fi indie pop. The song’s accompanying visuals were created by sona himself, in collaboration with some friends.

“Written by me and produced with the help of my friends, it’s about feeling like a spectator in a relationship.”

‘no violence’ is another exciting new release from sona, and is taken from his upcoming ‘drifter’ EP. Lyrically, the song was inspired by the challenges of being in a relationship while also trying to chase your dreams.

‘I wrote and produced this entirely in my bedroom on my ones. Written about the stresses that come with balancing a long term relationship with your pursuit of a music career.”

The track perfectly showcases sona’s flair for writing songs that are not only melodically memorable, but lyrically powerful.

With only one EP and a handful of singles released to date, this promising musician has already managed to amass more than 100k cumulative streams. Be sure to keep sona on your radars – he is one talent to watch for.
