Sibb Premieres Official Visuals for Soul-Pop Single “Mine”

Singer-songwriter Sibb (Kamau Romano) presents the official visual rollout for his soul-pop single “Mine” via Embassy of Music. The release marks the first instalment of a cinematic trilogy bringing the high-concept world of his debut EP, Delusion, to the screen.

“Mine” represents a pivotal chapter in Sibb’s three-act EP storyline, shifting from the “hyper-romanticism” of earlier tracks to a direct critique of hypersexuality. “The song is a story of coercion,” says the Trinidadian-born artist. “It explores how hypersexuality desensitises the people who embrace it while dehumanising the people they then affect.” Musically, the track draws inspiration from the vocal power of soul icons like Sylvester and Patti LaBelle.

Collaborating with Dietrich and Koch, Sibb crafted a “cautionary aura” for the “Mine” visuals. Through costume design referencing fairytale villains and a bold “danger red” aesthetic, the video embodies the song’s sinister character. Sibb describes the visual as a “vessel” to convey the track’s message, using contrast and sharp forms to highlight the emotional fluidity of the music.

This release follows a transformative two-year period for Sibb, who has built a reputation as a compelling live act across Germany. His performances include stages such as Fusion Festival, Kantine am Berghain, Kampnagel Hamburg, and Schwankhalle Bremen. This momentum led to his discovery at the Nürnberg Pop Festival and the beginning of his collaboration with the Berlin-based label Embassy of Music—renowned for its work with international icons such as Robyn, Björk, and Moby.

Now based in Bremen, Sibb made a deliberate pivot to music from a high-level academic background in engineering. After a pivotal mentorship with renowned Trinidadian jazz musician Vaughnnette Bigford, he adopted the stage name Sibb—an acronym for “simple black boy”—as a statement on identity. From hosting “writers’ open mic” sessions to appearing on national television, Sibb has transitioned into a sophisticated artist where the visual and the sonic are inseparable.
