Sébastien Blum releases new EP

Hailing from the island of Reunion, multidisciplinary artist Sébastien Blum makes appealing modern pop with an Afrobeat twist. Originally making a name for himself as a visual artist and designer, he’s now using his platform to release his studio music.

As a teenager, he began performing with Dancehall group ISK under the pseudonym Lérikal K, giving him first-hand musical experience and igniting his passion for the sonic arts. While taking a break to focus on other artistic pursuits, he’s now returned to the microphone and brings us his debut EP, titled Jardin sur la Tamise.

With his new three track release, he blasts through his musical vision, offering a mix of tempo and style, threaded together by his smooth vocal work. Taking the listener on a journey, he trips down the Thames on a visit to England, weaving in a decidedly Afro-London nod.

Blending Afro-swing vibes with a UK garage departure on “My Time”, he lays down his swaggering and rhythmic sound on a debut EP that shows an artist on the rise.
