KC Clarke - Myriad Dreams (EP)

Equal parts tender and self-assured, KC Clarke’s intoxicating artistry is on full display across Myriad Dreams. Merging nostalgic R&B and his own mellow-wave flavour, the 5-track EP perfectly encapsulates the endless chase for true love and intimacy, as psychedelic textures playfully flirt with KC’s dream-like cadence to create a spellbinding body of work. An electric synergy that feels as beautiful as it is meaningful, the rising artist’s exploration of passion and vulnerability will set him as one of the most exciting R&B talents emerging across London and beyond.

Moving through hazy sessions of “With You”, we reach the apex of KC’s diverse musical makeup with “SPACESHIPS”, laced with warm, funk-infused sounds that open pockets for his stunning falsetto to shine front and centre. Backed by a high-calibre music video following two lovers on a journey across South Africa, the colourful vibrations burst to life with intimate car rides and vibrant open fields; depicting the shifting patterns of a new relationship and the blossoming connection that takes control.

Standout collab “Trenches”, which taps fellow London star Joey XL sees both artists on superior form, trading infectious harmonies before the record closes out with “You Want More” – a textured slow jam produced by fwdslxsh (Central Cee, Doja Cat, 6LACK) that adds a vintage gloss to what stands as a highly significant release for the rising star.

KC Clarke first crashed into the ether as part of the highly acclaimed South London collective Last Night In Paris – a DIY ensemble of rappers, singers and filmmakers who spearheaded the underground with incendiary sounds and an unapologetically raw aesthetic. Gaining global attention from THE GUARDIAN and DAZED to HIGHSNOBIETY and OFFICE, KC would later walk for Maharishi at London Fashion Week and deliver major performances across Glastonbury, Wireless and Soulection to name a few.
