It feels safe to say that there isn’t another music genre more in consistent flux than R&B. It’s a genre whose fans demand authenticity, a respect towards its forefathers, and evolution all at the same time. Where practitioners of other genres might get away with exercising old tricks here and there, R&B fans simply don’t allow for that. Burundian-Australian artist Beckah Amani has a perfect understanding of all this, with her debut album ‘this is how I remember it’ being the shining example. What Beckah has achieved on her album is showing why she’s an artist who’s here to stay, with a clear passion for storytelling and setting the perfect mood for listeners to pour themselves into her art.
On this bonus episode of the podcast, we go into Beckah’s story, how the album came to be, and how she’s gone on to attract the attention of music giants like Coldplay and Jorja Smith.
