British-Sudanese artist Elmiene has unveiled a three-track remix EP titled ‘This is the Remix’, out now via Polydor/Def Jam Recordings.
Continuing the work of fleshing out his sound beyond prescribed notions of what a soul artist should be, Elmiene shares sonorous reworks of ‘Light Work’ and ‘Someday’, roping in Los Angeles rapper, singer and producer BLXST, legendary super-producer Timbaland, Rance of Los Angeles production collective 1500 Or Nothin’ and German Soulection-affiliated beatmaker IAMNOBODI.
‘Light Work’ from last year’s ‘Anyway I Can’ EP, sees Elmiene celebrating the joy of easy-going relationships. Grammy-nominated artist BLXST augments the track’s already global appeal as he celebrates West Coast link ups via his signature blend of rap and RnB.
‘Someday’ first appeared on 2023’s breakout project ‘Marking My Time’ and sees Elmiene yearning to return to a love experienced in the past. Appearing twice on ‘This is the Remix’, the track is reimagined by Timbaland and Rance 1500, as well as IAMNOBODI.
Next month Elmiene will support D’Angelo at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia and UK fans will have the chance to catch him perform at London’s Jazz Cafe festival on August 3rd.
