South West London-born singer-songwriter Sharlette is one of the UK’s most compelling new soul voices, serving up a sound that blends the intimacy of classic R&B with a modern radio-ready energy. She channels both poignant songwriting and confidence, taking cues from timeless soul traditions while threading in a contemporary aesthetic to deliver music that’s intricate, engaging and thoroughly original.
Sharlette’s artistic output has always been defined by a profound connection to storytelling; inspired by artists such as Sade, Snoh Aalegra and Cleo Sol, her songs centre on love, empowerment and growth, filtered through melodies that glide between sultry and uplifting stylings. With a voice that balances tenderness and strength in equal measure, she developed her musical vision as a sought-after session and events vocalist, playing live alongside the likes of Boy George and LeAnn Rimes.
That background gave her the opportunity to cultivate both talent and stage presence, making her live performances magnetic whether she’s holding down an intimate venue or commanding a larger stage. Capturing her sound in the studio, she first shared her original material back in 2014 with the debut single “Far Away” before taking an extended hiatus from releasing music. Now she returns with a fresh wave of soulful energy, ready to share the next chapter of her artistic adventure.
Marking her long-awaited return, her brand new single titled “Loving You Is Wild” marks an incredible re-entry, capturing the intoxicating rush of those late-night moments you don’t want to end. It’s a song dripping in nostalgia, cut with smooth R&B textures wrapped in a soulful glow, resulting in a track that lands as both a love letter and a reminder of how deeply music can tether us to feeling.
Brought in by the delicate flutter of delicate guitar notes and soft key tones, the muted punch of drums sets a lad back groove as Sharlette’s silky smooth voice glides in to spin alluring melodies above. Floating above the breezy arrangement, her stunning voice shines as she casts heartfelt lyricism via expressive delivery. With moments of layered up vocals and passages of soulful flourishes, her dazzling performance adds to the enticing and truly spellbinding aesthetic of the song.
Framing her charming songwriting in a laid back setting of neo soul and indie R&B vibes, “Loving You Is Wild” sees Sharlette offer a timeless jam that marks her return in spectacular fashion. With more material on the horizon, Sharlette is starting an exciting new phase in her musical story and she’s sure to delight fans across the UK and beyond with her superb musical offering.
