His latest release pairs a spacey, dreamlike track with his most powerful vocals to date.

Playful pitch effects and trap-inspired touches add accents, creating a thrilling atmosphere that’s far from merely sweet.

His style—nonchalantly singing frankly carnal desire with lush melodies—is a charm that’s uniquely his.

This song is the lead single from his long-awaited debut album “Still Shinin’,” due out in September 2025.

It’s a dope track packed with his evolved worldview, and a must-listen for R&B fans.
