With his latest release, “Incentive,” Hendrix announces himself in 2024 with a dynamic entrance.

This eagerly awaited single, a preview from his upcoming LP, unfolds as an eerie and enchanting contemporary R&B piece.

Reflecting on ‘Incentive’ ahead of upcoming LP, Hendrix Harris says “The first single from my upcoming LP is a deep dive into my sonic universe of warm heavy bass driven beats, ethereal textures and intoxicating melodies. With Incentive, I’m delivering an honest state of play, capturing the essence of being an up-and-coming artist in the 21st century. Through lines like “I’m on a boat sailing through a sea of acid, lacking in traction”, I’m expressing the burden of loneliness in a toxic industry, and the uncertainties that come with making hard decisions.”
