To stand out amongst as burgeoning a scene as the UK R&B space is right now, it seems essential to be unique; Binta succeeds at such. Sonically exploring the boundaries of R&B whilst flirting with the tendencies of pop and electro-leaning sounds. Her ‘2020 debut EP, Limbo, was a kaleidoscopic collection of cuts, and saw her achieve impressive success, boasting an appearance in the top ten of the Gambian charts, as well as plenty of radio love in the UK.
The new single is Binta’s first of the year, and first since signing to LA label Mind Of A Genius, with the songstress poised for a new chapter of artistic growth. The instrumental is a fascinating, immersive concoction of styles; dreamy synths, wandering bass and bouncy liquid DnB-influenced percussion. Binta charming vocals glide atop the instrumental, translucent yet focused, drawing the listener in with ambiguous delight. As suitable to a dance floor as it is a late night session of thought, it showcases Binta’s broadening appeal and eclectic stylistic ability.
Speaking on the new single, Binta comments, ““Do you wanna is ultimately just a cute question you have when you like someone. Like you know you don’t want to get into anything serious but at the same time you don’t want to stay in this awkward stage. like why stay here on earth when what we feel for each other is like were flying through space”.
