Jelani Blackman has shared his new single ‘Comfy’.
The London all-rounder has a passion for collaboration, and his latest single exhibits that perfectly.
‘Comfy’ features three powerful talents, with Jelani Blackman leading from the front. There’s also a velvet vocal from Moonchild Sanelly, too, while the triptych is completed by the one and only Trillary Banks.
Online now, it’s a soulful burner that keeps a little grit in its DNA, a pan-genre creation helmed by someone who truly moves in his own lane.
Both composer and curator, Jelani Blackman recruited Moonchild Sanelly after years of friendship. He comments: “I’ve been chillin with Moon for a minute and the vibe has been so good, this song came out of it. It’s about feeling comfortable and when you do, how much your energy just radiates out and people catch it.”
Moonchild Sanelly adds: “We were on tour in the US and there was this really confident guy and everyone kept saying how hot he is… so we were joking about that – like ‘you got us all wanting you’. That’s what this tune became – walking into a club and spotting someone who looks comfy in their own skin; that’s a hot look. The first word was when Jelani saw me exhausted on a beanbag in the studio with Trill – but luckily the tune evolved beyond the beanbag ;).”
Leicester rap firebrand Trillary Banks grabs the mic for an on-point feature, adding: “This was such a spontaneous but special session! The energy between us all was genuine and we came up with a hit! Sometimes the late night studio sessions are where all the magic happens. I loved being a part of this collab. Such a vibe!”
Tune in now.
