Irish rapper Rejjie Snow has reunited with two of his "Egyptian Luvr" collaborators – Grammy-winning producer Kaytranada and vocalist Dana Williams – for a new double single released through Honeymoon / +1 Records.
Having previewed the laidback, disco-leaning "All Night" last month, the release of the R&B- and house-referencing "Keep Up" completes the set, which Snow has already confirmed will not form a part of his as-yet-unannounced third album.
Listen to both tracks below:
"I always love working with [Kaytranada] on music & I'm a fan before anything else so it's a pleasure every time," says Snow in a press release.
He also expressed gratitude for having taken a few years to follow-up his second album Baw Baw Black Sheep, saying:
“It feels like a nice time in my universe to put out these creations. For me it’s all about timing & as much as music is a giant repetitive cycle im super certain that some artists must not focus on churning out stuff rapidly but allow for time and growth to take course especially in ones craft, it’s more important than you think to be fully satisfied with that final product you’re gonna put out, especially in the face of critique. This next run is a celebration to all things I’ve learnt and the discipline, gratitude I’ve gained in other areas finally being put where it matters the most, the music.”
Snow has also lined up an extensive European tour that kicks off in Glasgow on 5 November, calling at:
