Soulful and resonating, Dwin, The Stoic channels his whole musical psyche into this EP, providing a unique sonic exploration that touches on different ways love is experienced - from the sweet to the sour.

The pair have worked on several projects in the past, and you can hear the musical chemistry and synergy in the music they produce together.

Lead single ‘Don’t Wait Up’ feat. Kelechief, is a highly strung and experimental dosage of Afropop. The afrobeats vibe is instantaneous from the percussion elements at the introduction, before Dwin infuses his pop-woven melodies and his one of a kind vocal to take the whole mood and feel to a whole other sonic direction.

There are moments that are reminiscent of Rag’n’Bone Man, with Dwin’s commanding vocal presence that stops you in your tracks. ‘Don’t Wait Up’ is a dark and brooding Afropop track that transcends beyond the norm, which is what makes Dwin, The Stoic so special and an artist to watch out for in 2023.
