Soul Quest Records keep bringing the soulful music heat, as they welcome one of South Africa’s leading female artists to the label, Sio, with her stunning ‘Losing Sleep’ EP. Delivering a selection of 3 beautiful songs, produced by some of London’s coolest including Sean Green, Max Sinàl, KingCrowney and Slxm Sol, Sio reveals some of her most heartfelt slices of dance floor soul to date! The lead track, ‘Serious’, showcases Sio’s unquestionable talent and vibe as her candy-sweet voice and vulnerable story telling flow over a deep and warm soundtrack teased with lush keys and afrocentric beats. ‘Somewhere’ brings a jazzy NeoSoul twist to the EP, wrapped in Sio’s mesmerizing tones and hopeful message, capable of melting the coldest of hearts. ‘Hello’ is a laid-back contemporary soul-drenched groove complete with a catchy chorus as Sio waxes lyrical about a questionable love interest, which closes out this gorgeous EP from this beautifully elegant artist.
