Editor's note

Theophilus London, Brooklyn's shape-shifting soul singer

A Crown Heights rapper and singer who moved from mixtapes to psychedelic soul and electronic dance.

If you want to hear his range, try 'Seals (reprise)' and 'Want U For Myself.' They give you a good sense of where he was heading.

He's one of those artists who never quite fit a single lane, which makes his catalog worth a listen. The 2010 mixtape 'Timez Are Weird These Days' announced a new kind of Brooklyn voice, and later tracks like 'Seals (reprise)' show how far he could stretch a song. You hear it in the collaborations too, Solange, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, people who recognized something restless in his sound.

He started with that 2010 mixtape, then put out albums like 'Lovers Holiday' in 2011 and 'Vibes' in 2014. By 2018's 'Bebey,' he was still shifting, and later songs like 'Accept The New' suggest a quieter phase.

Archive material and source history

Theophilus London grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, with Trinidadian and Guyanese heritage. He started making music early, drawing from hip-hop, soul, and R&B. In 2010, his mixtape 'Timez Are Weird These Days' got attention for its mix of lyrical flow, soulful vocals, and experimental production.

He followed with albums like 'Lovers Holiday' in 2011, which had psychedelic touches and featured Solange and Erykah Badu. By 2014's 'Vibes,' he was working with electronic dance sounds, and 2018's 'Bebey' showed him moving through different genres. Songs like 'Seals (reprise)' and 'Want U For Myself' reflect that shifting style.

London has worked with Kanye West, ASAP Rocky, and Tame Impala, among others. His music has appeared in TV shows and films, but he's also drawn some criticism for his genre-hopping and outspoken views. He keeps a lower profile these days, with tracks like 'Accept The New' and 'Sand-Castle (Black X Blue)' representing his later work.
