Temptress – UNDER MY SKIN

We’ve been fans of Temptress from as early as 2016. And yet, as they say, good things come to those who wait, because this amazing UK-based duo have finally released their debut album.

And we’re so glad they took their time in crafting this record, which you can stream in full here. Each song is crafted with finesse and presents the outfit’s unique R&B sound in its best light.

“We started these songs almost ten years ago, when we didn’t have the tools to finish them – or even fully understand what we were trying to say. This album is us reaching back to those feelings, giving them space, and finally saying what we couldn’t back then. And now we’re telling that story visually too – through our own lens.”

The title track, ‘UNDER MY SKIN’, is one of our favourite releases of the season and presents listeners with a melodic soundscape that feels both cinematic and soulful.

Impressively, the duo have picked up praise from the likes of BBC 1Xtra, DIY, VIBE Mag, FADER, i-D, Complex and Earmilk. We can’t wait to see what the future now holds for Temptress…

Temptress – Anxiety

A luxuriously produced piece of hazy RnB from London duo Temptress. Since their debut in 2016, this outfit have been writing, producing and directing all of their material, garnering over 3 million streams in the process.

“I wrote this song during lockdown. Life had slowed down, changed dramatically and provided time for reflection. The song is a cathartic release about my anxiety, and it’s been a long time coming.” – Jess, Temptress
