Merci - Out Now!! Kemi Ade, born in Hammersmith and raised in South London, is a standout singer-songwriter in the UK's alternative R&B scene. Known for her eclectic blend of pop, R&B, jazz, indie, and neo-soul, Kemi draws from her rich Nigerian and British heritage to create music that resonates deeply with her listeners. Praised as “one of the UK's most exciting singers” by Complex, her work oozes warmth, cleverly dropping topical lyrics over sedative neo-soul-style instrumentals. Kemi’s received acclaim from COLORS Online, Notion, Earmilk, and Trench Magazine and has been featured on various Spotify and Apple editorial playlists. Influenced by Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Ne-Yo, and Musiq Soulchild, Kemi’s releases, including the O.W.Nesty EP and The Coffee Shop EP, showcase her uniquely crafted style, blending 90s synths and pop with new-era funk basslines. "Merci" is the new single from Kemi Ade, following ‘Gaslight’, is a poignant track released in September.
