Brooklyn-by-way-of-Alabama singer/songwriter/producer Celeste has created a catchy new electro R&B track — “More Lives” — that deserves attention. She draws from the some of the same springs of inspiration as artists like The Weeknd and FKA Twigs, and even briefly references alt-J‘s vocal stylings.
While her debut EP, More Please, won’t be released until October 28th, you can enjoy its first track right now. “More Lives” is clearly a beat-driven track, but it never forsakes melody as it attaches itself to the listener’s emotions with a healthy helping of soul.
