We introduce emerging R&B star and fresh prince of the slow jamz, Barnaby.<\/p>\n

\"Barnaby\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So summer has drawn to a close but before we wardrobe away our bikini’s and sunnies, we thought we’d transport you back poolside with R&B enigma, Barnaby.<\/p>\n

Sexy slow jamz that are more adhered to the likes of Chris Brown or Usher vocals, enhanced alongside a slick pastel palette backdrop all feature within the self-released debut ‘Fresh Made Lemonade’. <\/em>Wonderland caught up with the newcomer to find out more about his mysterious nature as well as nabbing an exclusive remix of the track via Vacant.<\/p>\n

You seem to be somewhat of an enigma. Tell us a bit about yourself?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve spent the last four years or so working behind the scenes, self-developing my music; I wrote this song and it just felt right, so put it up on Soundcloud – the track kind of took on a life of its own. Since then I’ve been working with other producers and writing plenty of new material. Radio One have been playing the track, I have a music video and I’ve been featured on some pretty huge blogs and websites. It’s all still pretty surreal at the moment really…<\/p>\n

What’s the scene like in Southampton? Are there any other emerging talent that we’re unaware of?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

There is definitely a good musical buzz around there. I’ve kind of missed out on a lot of exploring the local scene over the past few years, by spending them in my little studio set-up, and even now that I’m ‘out there’ it’s been pretty full throttle and I now don’t ever find myself with the time. A good friend of my though – who goes by ‘New Mantra’ – has been picking up steam with his latest single.<\/p>\n
