On September 30 Keiynan Lonsdale releases his new song Body High and invites listeners into a bold new era. ‘Body High’ doesn’t just mark the beginning of Lonsdale’s Sophomore Album campaign (five years in the making), it confirms a re-introduction to both the artist, lover, and man, who has taken the time necessary to develop himself on a soul level.
“Body High could definitely be perceived as a kind of one-night stand, noncommittal romance.. But to me, it comes from a space of real love, where you know & care for someone so deeply, that you can raise each others frequency back up after a long and hard day, whether that be with intimacy or other acts of service. I believe the song lives at that highest point.”
-Keiynan Lonsdale
Echoing the intimacy of Maxwell, D’Angelo, and Musiq Soulchild, Body High rides the waves of smooth & timeless R&B / Soul, with It’s stripped-back live guitar, & deeply rich vocal performance. The 808 production hits, while K’s falsetto’s fly, vibing with one another effortlessly, forming a record that honours both the roots of the genre, & the sounds of our time. Body High is a warm, sensual R&B record inspired by the feeling of being someone’s place of comfort after a long day, and is the first taste of his upcoming sophomore album and the beginning of a much bigger world rolling out into next year.
