Elmiene at Irving Plaza

Hailing from the UK, Elmiene got his start by singing covers on social media — before noticing he could fuse his love for poetry with performance by penning his own music. The British R&B and soul singer-songwriter has cooked up his own signature brand, intertwining classical sounds with neo-soul. Elmiene combines “smooth, sweetly poetic vocals and raw sentiments in his original material.” Very few voices emit the past like Elmiene. His is a gorgeous voice that travels the R&B and soul continuum, full to the brim with the heft and history that comes from studying the Greats. Over the years, he’s joined forces with an incredible range of artists, from co-writing with Stormzy to working with Sampha, Jamie Woon and James Vincent McMorrow on his own material. The trending star emerged onto the scene in 2021 when he dropped his stunning debut single, “Golden.” The crooner followed the success up with the equally stunning and emotionally-charged “Why (Spare My Tears)” which pairs producer Jamie Woon’s subtle grooves with Elmiene’s powerful voice.

This trek comes on the heels of Elmiene’s latest offering. Out now, the Oxford singer-songwriter’s brand new single “Sweetness” comes from the heart, a moment of tender joy. The track is created in collaboration with producer Dahi, who has worked with the likes of industry heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and SZA. “Sweetness” marks another poignant chapter in Elmiene’s catalog, following stunning tracks “Shame” and “Remember.” The release of Elmiene’s new song arrives as the sensational artist has been nominated for the Rising Star Award at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards. Crossing the pond to the United States for a handful of intimate shows, Elmiene is treating fans to a live performance of his latest and greatest hits. The humble songwriter is kicking things off on October 8 in Los Angeles, and making his way to the iconic Big Apple’s Irving Plaza on October 20. What are you waiting for?!
