The London singer-producer builds sparse, emotional songs that feel both intimate and expansive.
If you need a place to start, 'Retrograde' is still the blueprint. For something more recent, 'Life Is Not The Same' shows how he's refined that sound without losing the ache.
When 'Retrograde' came out in 2011, it didn't sound like anything else on the radio, just that lonely piano, those ghostly harmonies, and that sudden, desperate plea in the chorus. He's kept that same careful balance between electronic production and raw feeling ever since, whether he's working with Frank Ocean or making something like 'Life Is Not The Same' on his own. The songs are built with space, and the emotion fills it.
He started with that self-titled debut in 2011, then moved through albums like 'Overgrown' and 'The Colour in Anything'. More recently, you can hear him collaborating with people like Metro Boomin and SZA on tracks like 'Tell Them' and 'Coming Back', while still putting out solo material.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
