(New York, New York – October 24, 2023) – Today, Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter/arranger/producer Yebba returns with the long-awaited beautifully-arranged new single bundle, ‘Waterfall (I Adore You),’ which had even hip-hop’s biggest star, Drake, requesting its release. The bundle also includes an alternate version featuring Sweata, all via RCA Records.
The 19-year-old church and New York-bred musician and R&b artist, producer & songwriter Sweata lends his soulful “boom bap infused” touch to the single, written by Yebba and co-penned with James Francies, Justin Tyson, Burniss Travis, Charles Myers and Malachi Mabson. This track is the first of new music to come since her live five-song EP, full of powerful recordings of songs from Yebba’s critically acclaimed, unbarred and honest debut album Dawn.
Her last EP saw her work with her band leader, James Francies on a cover of John Mayer’s “The Age of Worry.” With the critically lauded Mark Ronson producing the album,...

“I ain’t heard one bad Blxst song,” the California-native proclaims on his song “Pressure” — a statement that feels more like fact than hyperbole. The rapper/singer/producer (whose name is pronounced “blast”) has been stacking up hits since he combined his production skills and pen game. Hailing from the streets of Los Angeles, Blxst is set to heat up Indio when he hits the stage at Rolling Stone and Meta’s Creator House during the first weekend of Coachella.
