Jeff Darko will 'Follow You' on debut single

British-Ghanaian artist Jeff Darko this week released his debut single ‘Follow You’. It’s taken from his forthcoming debut album that will arrive later in 2021.

It’s a vulnerable plea for guidance from a higher deity as well as a romantic partner.

‘Follow You’ blends soul, RnB, electronica, jazz and alternative pop, forming part of a genre that Jeff has termed psychedelic gospel.

According to the single press release, ‘taking the original meaning of psychedelic from Greek (to reveal one’s soul) and combining it with gospel (the origination of soul music popularised in the early 50s and 60s), Jeff’s music both sonically and lyricall is built around openness, vulnerability and truth.’

Originally from Ghana, Jeff moved to the UK when very young after a few years in France, and is now based between London and Barcelona.
