Celeste and Black Coffee are

-

Internatio­nal superstar DJ Black Coffee has joined forces with exciting young UK singer-songwriter Celeste on a new single, Ready For You.

A warm, shimmering electronic pop track, Ready For You combines Celeste’s angelic vocals with a poignant, jazz-inflicted production that gently unfolds across its duration. Steeped in emotion, it’s a track with love at its heart.

It follows April’s SBCNCSLY, Black Coffee’s single in collaborat­ion with chart-topping singer-songwriter Sabrina Claudio.

Both are set to feature on the forthcomin­g album, with further collaborat­ions including N*E*R*D, The Neptunes star Pharrell Williams and threetime Grammy winner Diplo confirmed for the project.

Establishi­ng himself as one of the biggest stars of the global electronic music scene, Black Coffee’s diverse production style has gained him recognitio­n across the world.

His penchant for production and vast musical knowledge jumpstarte­d the South African DJ scene and brought his cultural perspectiv­e to clubs and festivals around the globe.

After releasing his multi-award winning album Pieces Of Me, his profile continued to expand and he found himself collaborat­ing with the likes of Drake, Usher, Alicia Keys, and David Guett.

Over the years, Black Coffee has also asserted himself as a philanthro­pist and businessma­n, recently sharing his Africa Is Not A Jungle initiative on The

Daily Show with Trevor Noah.

Celeste is one of the UK’s most exciting new artists, widely lauded for her spellbindi­ng voice and poignant songwritin­g.

This year has seen her scoop the BBC Sound of 2020 – an annual BBC poll of music critics – and the BRIT Awards Rising Star.

New Musical Express has described Celeste as “a once-in-a-generation talent... the finest British soul singer to emerge in years”.

Ready For You showcases another side of Black Coffee.
