South London’s Valntna is known for sultry performances, her vocals combining the sounds of 90s R&B and old-school soul, taking influence from the icons of smooth vocals. Emerging in 2018, the artist has seen support from playlist editorials, radio and press, reaching a place where her sound and place in the industry are truly solidified.
Now unveiling the first track since her second EP ‘Rise of the Feminine Divine’, Valntna has shared the grooving bounce of ‘Palo Santo’. Delivering stunning vocals from start to finish, the artist builds up boundless complementary harmonies, evoking a rich brightness and positivity with her repeating hooks.
Instrumentally, Valntna brings cross-genre elements, her native R&B and soul sprinkled with subtle Latin and Afro influence into the mix. Drenched in themes of joy, love and self-affirmation amongst the plucky bass movement and elegant hums, it’s a beautiful slice of sun.
