Atlanta-born singer-song-writer berhana comes clean today with his first official release of 2018, a re-interpolated version of the '70s song "Whole Wide World". This follows last week's sync of "Grey Luh" in fellow-Atlanta-figurehead Donald Glover's award-winning show, "Atlanta". "Grey Luh" has streamed over 22M times to date and was featured on berhana's 2016 self-titled debut EP, which has now gone on to stream over 43M times worldwide.    

"Whole Wide World" is - says berhana - "probably one of my favorite love songs. Been wanting to cover it ever since I was in high school." It's an ambition fulfilled today with berhana's beautiful, almost-unrecognizable rework of the Wreckless Eric classic, both deeply soulful in tone yet richly panoramic in production. 

A confident new voice in modern pop, LA-based singer-songwriter berhana's slippery soul is perfectly captured on his early material thus far, which exudes confidence even at its most introspective moments. His debut, self-titled EP was imbued with sounds and traits from his childhood, conveying a cinematic quality whilst also introducing a uniquely personal history and culture: indeed, the EP even opened with recordings of his family members, from his aunt praying or his grandmother offering advice to his mother talking about his father. "I wanted something that felt like the inside of my mom's house-almost like a documentary," berhana explains. "I want people to know that there shouldn't be any walls when it comes to making your art. Everything you make should be an extension of yourself."

berhana has since played his debut live shows in a series of sold-out dates across the US, also selling out London's Jazz Café at his first ever European show this week. Catch berhana live at festival dates across the summer, with further new material and more live shows expected soon.
