Jelani Blackman unveils the video for his latest single ‘Hello’. Filmed around Ladbroke Grove, where Jelani grew up, the video comes days before the release of his collaboration with Ghetts on Fraser T Smith’s debut album 12 Questions.  It also follows his recording a Fire In The Booth for Charlie Sloth’s Apple Beats 1 show, as well as his hugely well received COLORS Sessions, which racked up over a million views in their first month - watch here.

Heavily influenced by r&b and soul, yet coming up at a time when Grime was everywhere; Jelani’s sound swerves stereotypes, blending the hard with the soft, the dark with the light; reflected in an impressively diverse roll call of collaborators that spans from Brian Eno to Burna Boy and Wolf Alice to Big Zuu. Having picked up a lofty list of supporters for 2019’s Average Joe EP, including the likes of Annie Mac, DJ Target and Maya Jama. things look ready to go to the next level for one of the most exciting and distinctive voices in the UK scene.
