West London songstress Safiyyah collaborates with noir-R&B singer KeepVibesNear and multi-instrumentalist Nikhil Beats on the video for their new single, ‘Days Like This’.

When speaking about the song, Safiyyah stated that the song is:

KeepVibesNear expresses his thoughts, explaining that:

Of Portuguese and Moroccan descent, 23-year-old Safiyyah was born and raised in the heart of
West London. The singer/songwriter uses music to journey through relatable life experiences and themes of nostalgia, self-worth and relationships. Safiyyah’s debut EP ‘Third Eye’ created a big buzz across last year and made its way onto Jamz Supernova’s Top 5 EP list on BBC 1xtra. Raised in Romford with family ties in Nigeria, KeepVibesNear aka KVN is known for his mixture of lyricism and a sultry melodic sound that makes for honest heartfelt listening. With the looks of a 90s R&B superstar and a delivery that owes more to King Krule than D'Angelo, KVN has gained widespread support through releases such as ‘Days Get Better’, ‘What U Need’ and ‘Gently’.

Born and raised in East London, Nikhil Beats draws from a wide variety of influences and has carved out his own British-Asian sound. With an ever-expanding discography, he has worked with the likes of Finn Foxell, Danny Sanchez and Bawo to name a few. He recently headlined the Roundhouse Rising festival where he demonstrated his ability to switch effortlessly between singing and playing a wide variety of instruments including the keys, bass and electric guitar.

With all three artists working on separate projects, Safiyyah, KeepVibesNear and Nikhil Beats close the year on a high and raise the bar for the burgeoning scene they are a part of. Having recently performed the single live at Safiyyah’s sold-out show, the collaboration came about with ease between three friends who share the same day to day experiences.
