LIST PICK

CELESTE MILK & HONEY

LA-born and Brighton-based Celeste has just dropped the sumptuous ‘Milk & Honey’, the second track from her forthcoming debut EP by the same name. The track is due for official release on 10th March via Bank Holiday Records, Lily Allen’s new label imprint. Selected as one of Annie Mac’s "New Names", Celeste has already hit BBC 1Xtra with her debut track ‘Daydreaming’, a soulful ballad which highlights her spectacular vocals. ‘Milk & Honey’ feels much more intimate however, a factor emphasized by the track’s acapella opening, and the fact that the artwork comes from her grandmother. The spectacular production comes from Tev’n (SBTRKT) and Reid (Rinse.fm), and stands out for its depth and sensitivity. Stay tuned to Celeste’s Soundcloud page for the final track from this EP, ‘Chocolate’, which will no doubt be dropping soon. -HM
