Elmiene by Toby Coulson
CURRENTLY PERFORMING SOLD-OUT WORLD TOUR
ADDS NEW DATE TO NORTH AMERICAN LEG
Elmiene shares his new single “Sweetness,” produced by frequent collaborator and Grammy-award-winning producer Dahi (“Remember” and “Shame”). The breakout star shows no signs of slowing down, as he continues to perform on his sold-out world tour which included a soul-stirring debut at the Alexandra Palace Theatre earlier this month.
“Sweetness” arrives with a music video directed by Cam Hicks as the two come together to share the sequel to the video for the previously released single “Crystal Tears.” Following a devastating breakup and rejection at seemingly every turn Elmiene finds himself trapped in a store full of glitching TV screens with nothing else to do but accept this perpetual state of nostalgia.
Despite having yet to release a full-length album, Oxford’s 22-year-old Elmiene has already made waves in the music scene. The allure of his live set is clear from his COLORS appearance, where he played an unplugged version of fan favorite “Endless No Mores” and was likened to “the magic of D’Angelo mixed with Sampha.” His 2021 track “Golden” went viral after Benji B handpicked it to soundtrack Virgil Abloh’s final Louis Vuitton show. In short order, he was invited to perform alongside Robert Glasper and Yasiin Bey for a subsequent Louis Vuitton show in Paris, notably Elmiene’s first public live performance ever.
Since then, he has appeared on critically acclaimed albums by Stormzy and Lil Silva, signed with Def Jam Recordings (US) and Polydor (UK), performed at Glastonbury, made his TV debut on Later… With Jools Holland, and sold out four headline shows in London all before officially closing the books for 2023. In addition to his sold-out world tour, Elmiene shares two new live dates at Sacramento’s Sol Blyme Festival and the Non-Comm Conference set for early May.
