LIST PICK
JAMILAH BARRY THE LOVE IS GONE
Jamilah Barry leans into queer identity with her new single, 'The Love Is Gone'. The track sees the British-Guinean singer-songwriter continue her love affair with sounds from Cuba and Brazil, with nods towards rumba and bossa nova blending perfectly with the track’s core alt-R&B sound. Add the bounce of Afrobeat rhythms and tender saxophone from Marco Bernadis and you’ve created something truly special. She explains: “I had so much fun writing this. Rømme and I couldn’t stop ourselves when it came to adding and layering the BVs and harmonies. There were literally HUNDREDS of vocal tracks.” Keep an eye out for more from Jamilah Barry. -Dan Peeke
