Ephemeral is an ode to a transformative period in my life-about a summer that changed everything. The water-themed record fully allows Roho to explore his signature brand of cool, sexual and spiritual whilst revealing more layers of his vulnerability. Ephemeral works as significant introduction to those unknowing of this alt-R&B act’s work and this episode finds Roho telling us all about the inspiration behind it.
NO GIMMICKS is a smooth slapper that’ll have you fetching your boombox asap.
This collaboration by Billy Lemos, Maxwell Young, and Omar Apollo was released in 2017. Since then these three artists have created a name for themselves in the industry, along with strong fan bases. 12:34 AM served as the start and showed what these artists have to offer, and until this day it remains as one of their most popular songs, despite huge success in their individual projects.
Brian is a close friend and an amazing singer and songwriter. I’m glad to be able to include him on my playlist and love this record.
Shout out to Maria for recommending this track it fits perfectly with the vibe of this playlist. “Soft Plans (v1)” is a smooth and psychedelic R&B experience from up-and-coming artist Alan Lili.

South East London’s own Aria Wells, artistically known as Greentea Peng provides a silky smooth neo-soul tune with Mr. Sun. This song is part of her 2019 EP ‘RISING’. She self-describes as a ‘psychedelic R’n’B’ singer and songwriter with musical influences from legends like Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu. She has collaborated with fellow British artists p-rallel and Foreign Beggars.
Melodic and moving, light in the dark, simple yet intricate, spacious while dense and uplifting yet grounding. Let’s play musical yin and yang, catching flies and playing with our breath and bodies in the dappled light flickering as we begin to awaken from winter’s slumber.
This is is a very beautiful song with amazing melodies, you will enjoy this one.
Everyone has them, in one way or another. Drinking, Drugs, Binge Eating, etc. are all vices, or wicked habits, that people around the globe take part in.
