Elmiene treats fans to a captivating ‘Live From 525’ EP.

The intimate 9-track release captures a sun-soaked impromptu jam session that was broadcast via Instagram Live from a Los Angeles Airbnb earlier this summer.

‘Live From 525’ sees the fast-ascending Oxford soul star play recent singles ‘Sweetness’ and ‘Crystal Tears’, plus two new unreleased songs, alongside covers of a few personal favourites, including stripped back interpretations of songs by Cleo Sol, Prince, D’Angelo, Dijon and Midnight Star. His mesmerising cover of Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange standout ‘Pink Matter’ has been in demand from fans since he teased it on Instagram.

Having already announced a North American tour, and with European dates to follow - including another London headline show - Elmiene is on an unstoppable run of live dates this year. He recently supported SZA at BST Hyde Park, where he gave fans an early performance of forthcoming single ‘Light Work’.

Since his emergence, Elmiene has been known for his stunning live performances, and tickets remain in high demand. Earlier this year he sold out his eight-date world tour - including London’s Alexandra Palace.

Elmiene has continued to impress fans and tastemakers with a string of treasured releases, including the singles ‘Sweetness’ and ‘Crystal Tears’, as well as a previous ‘Live at RAK Studios’ EP, which revisited songs from last year’s breakthrough Marking My Time EP.  He made number 5 on the BBC Radio 1 Sound of 2024 poll, and was shortlisted as an artist to watch by the VEVO, MTV, Pandora Music, BBC 1Xtra and Ticketmaster.
