Downtown Kayoto - Karma Called (Official Video)

Zimbabwe born, Hull raised alternative R&B artist Downtown Kayoto releases infectious new cut ‘Karma Called’ alongside a Get Out inspired visual, out now via Songular. It comes alongside the announcement of his upcoming EP, ‘Navig8’.

Releasing his first single in 2019, Downtown Kayoto has quickly established himself, with co-signs from Jessie Ware, Zane Lowe and Nick Grimshaw as well as being Radio 1’s Future Artist. With this he landed the MOBO Help Musicians and PPL Momentum Accelerator Funds.

First single of 2021, ‘Hello World’ was a heady blend of DnB and alternative R&B, receiving praise from The Line of Best Fit, Clash, Notion, Gigwise as well as featuring on BBC R1’s Future Artists. He will also be playing the BBC Introducing stage at Reading and Leeds festival.

Returning with alt-pop R&B cut ‘Karma Called’, his sound is reminiscent of the likes of Dominic Fike and Brockhampton. “In this song I try to be vulnerable about genuinely needing this other person and trying everything in my power to meet them in the “end”,” explains Chiko. “I find myself constantly in my head and paranoid, I wanted to give a brief explanation as to why.”
