Introducing... Shae - ‘Melanin’ + ‘Treat Me Like Somebody’ Cover

Shae joins the growing list of incredible new artists emerging out of London.

20 years old and from North West London, Shae's fan base is steadily growing as she has over 2,000 Twitter followers embarking on her musical journey with her. 

Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, Jhené Aiko and Tink have all been noted as some of her musical influences, and her sound being a fusion of trippy R&B and Trapsoul with hints of Neo-Soul, which she delivers effortlessly in her music.

Below is an original piece from Shae titled ‘Melanin’, and a cover of Tink's ‘Treat Me Like Somebody’, which she has her own spin on and even lays down some impressive bars. Press play to listen to them both.

Just last week I blogged about a new song from Janelle Monáe featuring neo-soul artist Erykah Badu titled "Q.U.E.E.N." and now the official video is here. The song is the first official single and video off Janelle Monáe's brand new album 'The Electric Lady'.
