Double Tap to Zoom

Unlike others who may stumble into their chosen profession later in life, South London's Kemi Ade has been sure of her path from the get-go: “All I’ve known is wanting to sing – it’s like a choice that was already made for me.” This self-assuredness is wholly evident on her latest single "HONEST." - her voice effortlessly ebbs and flows over a funk-inflected R&B beat cooked up by Nosaapollo. Listen to it below and you'll soon find yourself floating away.
