Hmm... Naomi Jeremiah

Dublin is not the first place you look for Afro R&B, but Naomi Jeremiah is making me look twice. The Irish-Nigerian singer just landed her track "Soldier" at #14 on Spotify’s R&B UK playlist. She grew up in Ireland bumping Lauryn Hill and Fela Kuti, and you can hear that heavy soul-meets-rhythm DNA in her music. After independent drops like "Freedom They Don't Know," this UK playlist nod is a massive signal. Don't sleep on Dublin. She's up next.
