ELMIENE ANNOUNCES NEW MIXTAPE HEAT THE STREETS OUT SEPTEMBER 5TH

Acclaimed British-Sudanese soul sensation Elmiene announces his new mixtape Heat The Streets out September 5^th via Polydor/Def Jam Recordings. The project will include his new song “Useless (Without You)” out now.

Teasers for his new highly-anticipated lead single racked up over 4.4 million views in just a few days, sparking excitement with fans and peers alike – including Kehlani – for its full release.

Comprised of all new material, plus a few skits and interludes, the 12-track mixtape leans into Elmiene’s lifelong love of R&B, an influence that has remained a fixture of his own work. Unafraid of sharing big feelings and making grand romantic gestures, Heat The Streets celebrates and embraces the emotional depth of classic R&B: “Useless (Without You)” is a yearning ballad that denies life’s meaning without a lover, while the melodramatic “Damage Control” imagines the eve of a relationship’s demise over an irresistible funk groove. The collection ends with a warm cover of Carole King’s ode to universal love “You’ve Got A Friend.”

Elmiene’s recent run of live shows feel like bucket list accolades, including a performance at the BET Awards, playing alongside D’Angelo at the Roots Picnic and supporting Stevie Wonder at BST Hyde Park. His iconic NPR Tiny Desk Concert recently surpassed 1 million viewers, and his interview on The Terrell Show found further reverence for Elmiene’s R&B credentials when he impressed viewers by singing Uncle Sam’s “I Don’t Ever Want To See You Again.”
