WESLEE drops soulful new single ‘Something Bout You’ and announce London headline show

Bi-Coastal singer-producer duo WESLEE have unveiled their latest single ‘Something Bout You’, out now. The release comes as the duo announce their upcoming headline show at London Omeara on October 29th.

A soulful ballad draped in sentimentality, ‘Something Bout You’ deploys a minimalist beat, allowing Emma’s sumptuous vocals to take centre stage. With its sombre tones and slow pace, the track is a departure from the playfulness of previous single ‘London Love’.

Weslee are fresh from headlining the ‘BBC Introducing’ show at The Lexington in London, while the duo’s second EP will be released early next year following their second headline show of the year at London’s Omeara in October. Acclaimed debut EP 9F, released last year, has generated over 809,000 Spotify streams to date, while also making it into Jamz Supernova’s ‘Top 5 EPs’ on BBC Radio 1Xtra. 

Having established themselves as one of the most refreshing and uniquely dynamic acts in today’s international music scene, WESLEE have amassed over 26 million streams and performed for BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac at her AMP event, where they were joined by Jessie Ware and Sunflower Bean, as well as Annie herself. They also performed on the mainstage of Brooklyn’s Northside Festival as well as Baby’s Alright for their live US debut.

First emerging with critically-acclaimed debut track ‘Gassed’, the duo garnered a wealth of support from industry heavyweights, with the track receiving the prestigious ‘Hottest Record in the World’ accolade from BBC Radio 1’s Mistajam. It also clocked in at #5 on the BBC Radio 1 Specialist Chart and received support from a wealth of BBC DJs, including Pete Tong, Danny Howard, Clara Amfo and Huw Stephens.  Weslee have also seen a wealth of support from Beats 1 DJs Brooke Reese, Ebro Darden, and Travis Mills, with their last hit ‘Sweat Dreams’ acquiring over 1.7 million streams on Apple Music alone.

An irresistible slow jam, ‘Something Bout You’ is WESLEE’s most soulful record yet, showcasing another side to the innovative duo’s sound. You can catch the duo live at London’s Omeara in October.
