We sent our photographer Wunmi Onibudo to document the hotly-tipped, LA-based R&B singer at her recent XOYO London show last week. Her debut LP, Aquarius, containing singles ‘2 On’ and ‘Pretend’, as well as ‘Bet’ featuring Dev Hynes, is set for release on 7 October. Her latest single, ‘Pretend’ which features A$AP Rocky, premiered last week on Pitchfork here and you can see the video for prior release ‘2 On’, which we featured back in April, here.
