Washington-based alternative soul vocalist and songwriter Marti today shares her new single ‘Lust’. The single is available to buy and stream now on all platforms via b4.
After spending her early twenties travelling the world as a model and ingratiating herself into local music and art scenes, Marti became a fixture in downtown NYC and DC nightlife. Her captivating performances led to collaborations with artists including Duckwrth, Kojey Radical and Dev Hynes who invited her to guest on his acclaimed 2018 Blood Orange record ‘Negro Swan’. Now, in a confident blend of neo-soul and brooding, gothic R&B, she shares her debut single ‘Lust’. Produced by Jeffery Rashad, the single’s pared-back beat and bass twists and winds around Marti’s smokey vocals. The release of ‘Lust’ follows months of exceptional live performances of the song, including in support of label-mate Velvet Negroni in NYC.
‘Lust’ is out today on b4, a future-facing label serving as a home for tomorrow’s most relevant artists. The single is a perfect continuation of their strike rate following the release of HAWA’s acclaimed debut EP ‘The One’ and various releases across the last 12 months which have positioned the label as one of the most exciting independents to watch. Following work with Love Magazine and brands like Dior and Nike, Marti’s debut single is just the first look into the world of an as yet uncovered gem.
