AH YEAH! Here are some stripped back visuals for the deep, soulful and groovy new House single from Rudimental, which features the enchanting vocals of MNEK (who is just SEVENTEEN!) & the wonderful Syron.

Kinny - Suffocate

'Suffocate' is my favourite track from Kinny's amazing sophmore album 'Can't Kill A Dame With Soul', which is the latest release from the ever impressive Tru Thoughts label. Kinny may be a name that doesn't mean much to you, and for those of you who don't know her, she is an opera chanteuse turned singer/songwriter whose lifelong passion for reggae, jazz and soul music intertwines with her classical training for a unique and potent style. For more info on the album and to buy, go HERE.

This is just a demo of 'Takes 1 2 Know 1', but it shows a whole new side to Miss Shahmir, and I love it.
