‘Sweet Love’ is the new single from South London singer, Debbi O. The song, which is set for release tomorrow, September 3, is rooted in 80s nostalgia, with a nod to Sade’s ‘Sweetest Taboo’.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From the first note, Debbi O’s new single, ‘Sweet Love’ will feel familiar, and there’s a good reason for that. An Afrobeats Pop artist, Debbi O mixed modern day Afrobeats with an 80s nostalgic style, especially inspired by the soulful vocals of Sade’s ‘Sweetest Taboo’.<\/p>\n

‘Sweet Love’ follows on from Debbi O’s debut single ‘Lethal’, which was released in 2017. The artist describes her music as a blend of slow ballads, R&B, Pop and Afrobeats, and she is constantly writing hooks and coming up with new melodies, all the while pouring her heart and soul into her music.<\/p>\n

Debbi O worked with three producers on the single, using the experience as a learning process, and noting that although the recording process isn’t always smooth sailing, it’s always worth it in the end. A moving and passionate song, ‘Sweet Love’ will fill the listener with the warmth of love, and is sure to set Debbi O on an exciting new chapter in her musical career.<\/p>\n

Previously Debbi O has performed at Black Cultural Archives, and is looking forward to more live opportunities in the post-lockdown world. Watch this space!<\/p>\n

‘Sweet Love’ will be available tomorrow to stream and download on all digital platforms, and can be\u00a0pre-saved here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
