British R&B group, No Guidnce, have announced their upcoming EP ‘Confessions Of A Loverboy’, to be released March 14 via NG Records. The record will consist of five tracks – two never heard before – including 2024 fan-favourite single ‘Around Me’.
The R&B/soul boy band – Kaci Brookz, Zeekay Kabasomi, Josh Lomat and Eshan – have established themselves as one of the UK’s most refreshing acts, bringing back a classic vocal vibe that contemporary music listeners haven’t heard since the 90s. The announcement marks No Guidnce’s second EP, the follow-up to to 2023’s ‘Is It A Crime?’, and their first record since the departure of founding member Ebubé Chiana. No Guidnce shared their return to music in an Instagram post August 5, revealing Ebubé’s replacement to be emerging R&B vocalist Eshan.
Forming as a four-piece in 2021, No Guidnce have been on a mission to redefine boy bands in a post-X Factor world. Founding members Kabasomi and Brookz met on the set of Little Mix’s reality TV show The Search in 2020 before being approached by industry executives for the formation of a new boy band. Lomat and Chiana were later recruited, and thanks to a loyal TikTok fanbase where the group would showcase their vocal talent, No Guidnce rose to prominence through online hype in 2022. The band have gone onto enjoy the successes of the immense popularity of their single ‘Is It A Crime?’ (2023) from their first EP, with over 20 million Spotify streams to date.
The anticipation surrounding the upcoming EP is heightened by the release of ‘Different Ways’ on January 24, their first single of 2025, expected to appear on ‘Confessions Of A Loverboy’. Produced by Grammy-nominated beat maker Bernard ‘Harv’ Harvey, this heartfelt pop-infused track highlights a more tender and vulnerable side of No Guidnce, giving fans a taste of what’s to come in the EP. Speaking of the track, the group issued a joint statement: “This record marks a lot of firsts for us – it s our first ballad that we’ve successfully written together…We love singing this song as it gives us an opportunity to really showcase our raw voices in a new way, not heard on anything we’ve dropped before. This one feels really special to us and we hope that people connect with it like we do!” As of recent, the London-based R&B quartet have made an appearance on Apple Music’s The Rebecca Judd Show for the No Guidnce Loverboy Special February 13 to discuss the upcoming EP. The group also recently performed on DJ AG’s pop-up set in SoHo, London, surprising listeners with a live rendition of single ‘Is it A Crime?’. This latest promotion reminds fans of the soulful energy that No Guidnce bring to the table, creating great excitement for the soon-to-be released ‘Confessions Of A Loverboy’.
