Track Of The Day 4/5 – Cartaé

'Long Time'

Cartaé hails from Wembley, a London overspill that feels locked in its own world.

It's little wonder, then, that Cartaé is so individual – a singer with a distinct vision, her future-forward take on R&B pushes the sound in several different directions at once.

New single 'Long Time' is irresistible, with man-of-the-moment Ragz Originale stepping in on production.

The production is raw around the edges, while the glittering 80s feel has a faint Miami vibe re-contextualised for 2k17 London.

A divine introduction, you can check out 'Long Time' below.
