Keaton, the Manchester-based singer, songwriter, and producer, has released his latest single, “TEMPO”. The track follows his previous singles “CHAPERONE” and “ANYTHING YOU WANT” in the lead-up to his highly anticipated debut album, “ATHLETE,” set for release later this year.
In “TEMPO,” Keaton reflects on the existential dilemmas that artists face, navigating the ups and downs of the creative process. The track captures his journey toward finding peace with these challenges, offering a candid glimpse into his personal growth.
With its chilled R&B feel, “TEMPO” stands out as a laid-back, soul-infused track that’s perfect for a relaxed listening experience. Breezy west-coast guitars, rich vocal harmonies, and a smooth, introspective mood make it the ideal song for winding down or reflecting on life’s deeper moments. The vibe is relaxed yet captivating, giving off those lofi-like vibes that make the track feel effortless but meaningful.
Self-produced, “TEMPO” brings together Keaton’s ability to blend genres like R&B, indie-pop, and soul into a sound that feels both fresh and timeless. It’s a song that not only highlights his songwriting and vocal skills but also his growing production prowess. The track is a testament to his evolution as an artist, one who isn’t afraid to embrace a more introspective and soulful direction.
Keaton’s path to this moment has been shaped by years of hard work. After his time with the indie-electronic group Mealtime, where he gained attention with regular plays on Radio 1 and BBC Introducing, Keaton transitioned into his solo career.
His debut single, “ANYTHING YOU WANT,” has already seen success with over 20,000 streams and a feature on Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist. Since then, Keaton has continued to impress with his ability to self-produce and mix his tracks, giving each song a unique and personal touch.
In addition to his solo work, Keaton has also made a name for himself as a producer and mixer, collaborating with up-and-coming artists like joshua epithet, sorebae, and Funeralcare. With a growing reputation in Manchester’s music scene, Keaton has proven his versatility and passion for creating music that speaks to both the mind and the heart.
With the new single “TEMPO,” Keaton takes another step toward solidifying his place in the music world. The track blends reflective lyrics with a smooth, relaxed sound, allowing his artistry to shine through. As he gears up for the release of his debut album “ATHLETE,” Keaton is continuing to carve out a niche in the indie-pop and R&B scenes.
