Havana

Robbi Niles is a rising singer from Barbados, but he’s also spent considerable time in the UK, the US and Canada. A multi-instrumentalist, he’s been involved in music since he was three years old, and now through all of his experience and worldly travels, he’s established a unique and fresh sound that dabbles into different genres. While many of his previous releases were more on the R&B side, his newly released single, ‘Havana’, taps into Afrobeats and Afro house.

‘Havana’ is an instant earworm and stands out with its tropical-sounding instrumental, which was self-produced by Robbi, further showcasing how multifaceted he is. While the production sounds great, his vocals are silky-smooth, effortless and delivered perfectly for the song’s laidback summery feel. With ‘Havana’, Robbi has laid down a marker and made it clear he is an artist to watch out for who should be on everyone’s radar.

Speaking further on ‘Havana’, Robbi commented:

“Sometimes the best music is created when it is not planned. The idea of this song was born at an impromptu writing session for another project I was working on. After I had created the sample, I left it for approximately three weeks until I was sure which music direction I wanted to pursue. Once I knew Afrobeats was the genre I wanted to create, I then formulated a plan to execute ‘Havana’.”

‘Havana’ is out now to buy/stream on all platforms.
