Looking to expand your pre-drinks playlist before the weekend arrives? We’ve got you covered. Dropping new heat just in time for the weekend, Essii releases her latest track “Brown Eyes”, with not a single drop of her infectious rhythm and playful melodies spared. Showcasing yet another example of the 19-year-olds insane ability to interlace modern R&B vocal melodies with a stylised afrobeat, the artist’s new track is sure to get anyone dancing in the club. Challenging the societal conventions of today, the newcomer crashes onto the scene with swaying hips – providing us with a ground-shaking anthem about the artists journey to finding confidence in her femininity.

Calling on the stylised flow of LA rapper Coi Leray, the pair play with a minimalistic production to accentuate Essii’s honeyed vocals and the tracks light island pop influences. The start of the track features the notes of a xylophone played over a ear-worming synth pad, a sound which plunges the accompanying visual into a pool-side party. With a face snatched for days and an envy-worthy wardrobe, Essii proves herself as sleek and hype-worthy as her single. With the British-Zambian artist already garnering unique spins all over BBC Radio 1, Essii stays true to herself by cultivating her raw talent to make her imminent ascent.
