A champion of the contemporary soul sound, Luminiah returns with "chapter II: strawberry wine", a track that could easily be the soundtrack of the most seductive movie of the year. The US-born, Berlin-based alternative artist channeled the overwhelming feeling of encountering someone too good to be true into a song that is a breath of fresh air in today's climate.

Born out of an impromptu late-night jam at the home of friend and collaborator Jonas, "chapter II: strawberry wine", has come to life in the quiet hours of the morning, sparked by a wave of unfiltered creativity. "We were just jamming," Luminiah elaborates, "but then we both looked at each other and felt it—we had something real. That magic launched a whole new session that didn’t stop until the next night."

I love the fact that the track's instrumental has a solid downtempo feel, making it a great gateway for new listeners into the world of contemporary soul, making artists like Luminiah truly precious.
