Velvet Negroni: New Live Video, European Shows This Week17th June 2019
Watch the live version of new track ‘WINE GREEN’, shot by Isaac Gale, here.
“Velvet Negroni spins up dark epiphanies that contort into something of a groove.” FADERVelvet Negroni, the creative alter-ego of Minneapolis’ Jeremy Nutzman, creates raw, experimental R&B centered on the level of intimacy his voice evokes hybridising classic soul and West Indian elements. Ahead of his first European shows, he drops a live video of the brand-new song, ‘WINE GREEN’, which appears on his upcoming debut album, NEON BROWN, out August 30th.In the last year, his music was sampled by Kanye West and Kid Cudi on ‘Feel The Love (ft. Pusha T)’, graced Pitchfork playlists and had BBC Radio 1 airplay, and he has joined musical mentor Bon Iver on tour. On NEON BROWN, Velvet Negroni is a griot relaying the life and times of his own island of one as he rhymes in double time, or hiccups and la-las through a break, or croons from a room down the hall, as it unfolds into another story of lost love, or another joke about lost drugs, as it tries to make sense of a life spent in the (sometimes harrowing) pursuit of communion. Longtime collaborators Psymun (Future, Young Thug, Juice WRLD, The Weeknd) and Elliott Kozel (Tickle Torture) produced the album in Minneapolis. Last year, Velvet Negroni released a pair of singles – ‘First Time’ and ‘Crybaby’ – which earned an Artist To Watch spotlight from Soundcloud.This Thursday (June 20th), he performs in London at the Bermondsey Social Club, and follows this with a performance at 1999 in Paris on Monday (24th). Also announced is a headlining performance at LA’s No Name next month on Wednesday July 10th. All dates and ticket links can be found below and stay tuned for more tour dates being announced soon.
