After constant teasing of new music ever since their breakout EP in 2017, the R&B trio of Sonder comprised of Baltimore native Brent Faiyaz and producers Atu and Dpat have returned with their first official single collaboration. The track titled ‘Nobody But You’, which was announced through both of their Instagram stories in the week, features infectious vocals from the acclaimed singer Jorja Smith in this acoustic tinged ballad.

After releasing a spree of breakout extended plays on their Soundcloud in 2016, experimenting with artists from around the globe, including the likes of Sango, Lyves and James Vincent McMorrow, Sonder looked to expand their palette in search of new sounds. After their ‘Into’ EP, a sensual seven track journey spawning the hit ‘Too Fast’, the enigmatic nature was broken revealing Sonder to the world along with the rising vocalist Brent Faiyaz at the vocal helm. Since 2017, the group have spent time in the UK working on music, including the recording of a chunk of Brent’s most recent solo venture ‘Fuck The World’.

It is unknown whether this most recent song was recorded during the groups time in London, but this collaboration has been long sought after by R&B fans alike, with both artists acknowledging each other in the past. This new single signals a revival of the Sonder alias, with the upload of a new video to YouTube exclusively by the group titled ‘TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG’. The 13-minute film includes snippets of new music over a backdrop of various location shots and studio footage, directed by Liam Walsh and producer Dpat. As well as Sonders re-emergence, Jorja Smith has been active as a solo artist herself, with her new single ‘Addicted’ gracing streaming platforms last month before this collaboration. Both artists are in positions to release new projects in 2021, and these new tracks serves as taster for what’s in store for summer and beyond.
