Offering us a sip of summer slightly earlier than expected, Sabrina Francis invites us to come inside her breezy soundscape for some “Cocoa Tea”. Both infectious and soothing, the artist’s latest track blends oceanic Afro-beats with soaring synths — evoking fantasies of her enjoying the good times with a warming atmosphere and sweet drinks in constant flow. Describing her music as “uplifting, emotive and inspirational”, Sabrina’s gentle vocals slowly sway you into a state of utter zen, allowing listeners to float into a small snippet of paradise.

Released alongside an enchanting music video, the infectious sweetness of “Cocoa Tea” drifts through the song and accompanying music video, which begins with a reminder from Sabrina’s mother to enjoy her tea. “It’s really a memory that I’ve always had of a moment in my childhood” Sabrina reminisces. “For a long time I would mimic the way she wrote and it still really inspires the way I write now”. It only seems fitting for Sabrina’s track to be a tribute to fond memories from her childhood with her mother.
Contrasting clips of Sabrina out in the real world and alone finding her own groove, the visual shows that much like Sabrina’s music, “Cocoa Tea” is designed to unite others, cultivate friendships, and encourage everyone to enjoy the small pleasures of life.

The track has already been featured on BBC Radio London, who called it “A beautiful track”, and on Chris Baxters BBC Late Show, where he said: “What an evocative record, I love it!” With such glowing reviews, you can be sure you’ll be hearing a lot from the Grenadian pop artist over the coming months, especially around carnival time in London for her next tour!
