A lot has happened to Kwabs since that late 2013 we did of the young London singer.

A numerous collaborations including SOHN and Disclosure, winning a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music and being featured on BBC's Sound Of 2015 list is pretty sick for someone born in 1990.

There are quite a lot of things which could be said about Kwabena Adjepong (his birth name), but Colin summed up things pretty tight - "I'll start off by saying he'e got an outstanding voice". Spot on.

After releasing his Pray For Love and Walk EP, now it's time for his debut full album, which will be officially released on September 11th via Atlantic Records UK.

Prepare yourself for a lot of soulful music, blended with nicely "designed" upbeat synth electronic sounds - something which makes this guy exceptional. As you may know I'm not really the pop kind of guy, but this is seriously good music worth your attention. To this day "Perfect Ruin" remains one of the most touching pieces of music I've heard.
