Garnering support from BBC Radio 6, Jazz FM, New Music Friday and Fresh Finds alongside a variety of music press, British-Nigerian neo-soul songwriter Azul Kechi has risen from South London with a sense of uniqueness and determination. Performing around the globe, 2025 is set to deliver a debut album, Celestial Love.
In the meantime, fans are treated to new single ‘Nada Más Solo’. Starting with a tight drum groove and warm vocal inflexions, Azul dances her lyricism around a glittered piano and twinkling additions.
The soulful backdrop is blended with jazzy R&B elements, and Azul’s performance is confident and silky, echoing the lyricism around individuality and progress.
Azul takes a dive into the new track, “’Nada más Solo’ or ‘Nothing more, solo’ is a song about navigating your individuality – letting go, and fully owning who you are. It’s about embracing who you are and being different without caring what people think or trying to conform to others standards.
In crea tive industries you have to be bold and take risks, and sometimes this means going down a completely different route to your peers. Music can be a very individual experience and navigating your artistry and breaking into this industry ‘solo’ is a challenge but an exciting one, and this song is about learning to break free of what people expect you to sound like or look like, and to just embrace you. I’m learning more and more in my life to not watch what other people are doing, stop comparing, and to trust your gut. This song is all about taking your own path in life: doing things independently, no one telling you what to say or do, nothing more, just you, solo.”
