The R&B we’ve been missing 🥹. Voice is immaculate. Hope to hear him mainstream one day!

[@evanreeves2884]

Dude is incredible. Hope he starts getting the recognition he deserves soon

[@ariscott1117]

He is! Heard a snippet of this song on instagram, and I immediately came to listen.

Just watched him on Jool's, blown away...beautiful, just beautiful voice

[@deanelsmore-qn6wq]

Best act by a long, long shot. Levels. The guy is a future soul genius, and Jools pulled it out the bag having him on

Can’t find the lyrics for this anywhere so I transcribed them the best I could. Can anyone give me any pointers. Elmiene? Send me the prayer I’m missing Because I need the sign And even though I’m listening It’s gonna take a while Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired, oh babe Free me from this world I’ve found so frail Get me out this hole, too tight to stay I’m I’m Cos I’ve, oh I’ve been on fire Blunt knives on my side That is all reality Hold my breath, I’ve been dien oh babe all my life That is all reality Now every line I question Am I afraid to be Someone who learnt a lesson Amongst the evergreen Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired Wanna set my soul on fire Get me out this hole I’m tired, oh babe Free me from this world I’ve found so frail Get me out this hole, too tight to stay Set my my soul Cos I’ve, oh I’ve been on fire Blunt knives on my side That is all reality Hold my breath, I’ve been dive oh beg all my life That is all reality Cos I’ve, I’ve tried I’ve lied, I’ve loved, I’ve lived, I’ve died. I will survive. Cos I’ve, I’ve tried I’ve lied, I’ve loved, I’ve lived, I’ve died. I will survive. Oh baby Marking my time on walls Feeling my own skin crawl Send me the prayer I’m missing Am I amongst the living Am I supposed to be
