LIST PICK
VAHN BLACK UNDONE
Vahn Black returns with 'Undone', a track that holds true to everything she does best. She keeps it strictly neo-soul, with those goosebump inducing chords, the warmth in the production, and her stunning vocal range that glides effortlessly through the melody. The whole song feels like an escape. It’s dreamy, like falling into something soft and ethereal, and it pulls you completely into the moment. The chorus 'when I’m in your arms I’m undone, and I’m melting away, losing form and letting this love have its way, unraveling in your embrace' literally captures the experience of listening. The lyrics mirror the emotional surrender in her delivery, making the track feel intimate, vulnerable, and transcendent all at once. As an artist, Vahn Black has always stayed true to her lane, honouring the foundations of R&B and Soul while refining them in a way that feels both current and timeless. The saxophone solo that arrives in the final bridge is perfection, rich and expressive. Eventually voice floats over it with a lightness that almost feels spiritual. She respects the traditional structures of the genre, yet somehow elevates them every time. This is exactly why Vahn Black has remained one of our favourite underrated artists for some time. 'Undone' is another reminder that she not only understands her sound, but embodies it with a level of mastery that deserves far more recognition. -Rachel Fryer
