Meet London’s newest R&B sensation Rasharn Powell. Having a discography laced with soul, alt, and hip hop influences, Rasharn Powell makes music for “those individuals who don’t fit in with what society expects from them.” Powell recently debuted his first mixtape titled “Dusk & Dawn,” a cohesive 11 track project with both soulful R&B tracks and more upbeat, hip hop songs. 

An 11 track LP with 8 songs having debuted as singles, Rasharn Powell unites his musical work of the past 2 years with “Dusk & Dawn.” His single “Warm in These Blue Jeans” currently stands at his most streamed track with nearly 1.9 million streams. “Warm in These Blues Jeans” takes the lyricism of an R&B/Neo-Soul track and throws a groovy spin on it with a funky bassline and spotty synths. Powell’s impressive vocalization shines on this piece, complimenting his heartfelt lyrics and impressive composition. 

Rasharn Powell joins producer AB001 on his second most popular track “Smithereens.” This song slows down the pace of the album with smooth, psychedelic production from AB001 and flawless vocals from Powell. The production truly shines on this song with ethereal effects and sophisticated layering. Song after song, Rasharn Powell continues to impress. 

In conjunction with his mixtape’s release, Rasharn Powell drops the video for the third track on his album titled “Demons.” Directed by filmmaking brothers Will and Ed Reid, the visual for “Demons” excellently captures the essence of the song. From the lighting to the setting and everything in between, the video for “Demons” theatrically expresses the sentiment behind the single in a beautiful, cohesive manner. 

Needless to say, Rasharn Powell is impressing listeners with his debut mixtape in “Dusk & Dawn.” Despite all the impressive music coming out of London, Powell nevertheless makes waves in the R&B/Neo-Soul scene. Be sure to stream “Dusk & Dawn” to see what Rasharn Powell is all about!
