R&B singer/producer Emawk constructs ethereal sonic worlds with ease, gently layering his alluring vocals over subdued production. The Boston-via-Kenya artist is selfless with his serenades, tip-toeing through our souls with earned confidence. He readily explores his emotions lyrically, offering insight into his thoughts on the reflective “Whelmed”, a song from 2019 that features a sumptuously produced first half with swirling sound design and a steady snare, with an equally moving acoustic second act. Ever the introspective musician, Emawk still finds space to be playful, as displayed on the undulating, hip-hop adjacent 2021 single “MIND”.
