King Faro and his nostalgic blend of R&B and hip-hop bubble to the surface on effervescent new single "Tangerine".
New Jersey's King Faro may only have officially released two singles thus far - "Freak On The Low" and "Tangerine", for those not in the know - but both of these show the potential he has an artist. His Soundcloud profile is filled with deep cuts which are well worth a listen if you like what you hear here.
Describing his music as Emoji Music, because it's "all about the feelings", King Faro uses his music to tell stories, express emotion and share his experiences with the world. "Tangerine" is experimental, but nevertheless soulful.
"Tangerine" is out now.
