Haile Supreme

With velvety vocals, a spiritual energy, and a penchant for incredibly tight beats and catchy basslines, Haile Supreme is an artist who absolutely deserves a spot in your daily rotation. Supreme brings a palpable vibrancy to every track - like listening to pure sunshine. While a lesser artist may coast on a solidly constructed groove, Supreme instead immerses their sound seamlessly. The music isn’t delineated into “melody, rhythm, harmony”, but instead bursts with life as a single, unified vibe.

This week, we’re featuring the 2020 single “Elsewhere”. It’s clear that Haile Supreme’s sound has evolved even further since their last Black Tea appearance (2019’s “Danjahrous”). While “Danjahrous” featured Supreme flexing their retro, low-fi, 90’s hip hop muscles, “Elsewhere” is a trip to the future. An incredibly funky bassline anchors the track, while the empty spaces in between Supreme’s silky melodies are punctuated with haunting digital noises. From past, to present, to future, Haile Supreme is a voice you definitely want to hear.
