It's nice to hear Noxz in such a setting - we've been following the Nigerian-born, London-based producer & keyboardist with his chill beats since 2019.
Since then, he's also been working with names like Shaé Universe & Etta Bond and today, he's back with a sultry, jazzy r&b/neo-soul gem with SA singer Lusanda. "When You're Around" is Lusanda's debut (own) release and it actually originated from a beat Noxz shared on TikTok on which Lusanda improvised.
The track has since evolved into a dreamy, introspective r&b song about desire, insecurity, and longing, that showcases her distinctive mellow sound with notes of soul, pop, and the jazz that shaped her upbringing. Noxz's production carries a soft groove & warm keys, making this an absolute match made in heaven.
