Tomorrow, October 23, North London producer and artist Wauve, aka Robeal Yohannes, will launch his debut EP Shade. Though he describes himself as a producer first and a singer a distant second, if the EP’s new single “Pamela”, which capabilities Afrobeats stars ZieZie and Stonebwoy is just about anything to go by, we are not able to assist but really feel like he’s remaining a bit challenging on himself.

Possessing uncovered a deeper relationship to his Eritrean roots as he is developed up, Wauve’s music is leaning additional and more into that East African impact, taking pentatonic scales and homegrown rhythms and blending them into the traditionally West African Afrobeats sound. Incorporate to that a touch of the R&B and entice that initially influenced him to make tunes and the result is gentle and breezy audio that will take Afrobeats into new territories that need to in all probability be explored a little bit far more. 

Strike enjoy at the leading to see Wauve, ZieZie and Stonebwoy cut loose in the barbers while they try to capture the focus of the titular heroine.
