London-based duo Temptress are back with their captivating new single “Cuppa Tea“. Known for their innovative fusion of R&B, alt-pop, indie, and hip-hop, Temptress have carved out a distinctive sound marked by an airy, effortless charm that has earned them significant recognition.
“Cuppa Tea” is a gleaming new addition to their music repertoire. The track quickly establishes an atmospheric landscape blending lo-fi electronics with sumptuous R&B through lush synths, warm sub-bass, and lo-fi beats.
This pillowy sonic ambience serves as the perfect backdrop for the duo’s melancholic, silky lead vocals. Their voices intertwine above the track with radiant ease and elegance, creating a song filled with catchy melodies and sophisticated musicality.
Discussing the new single, the duo revealed that “Cuppa Tea” is a tongue-in-cheek song about the initial stages of getting to know someone. It represents the sweetness of the ‘honeymoon’ phase when everything seems to fall into place effortlessly.
The track includes references to the duo’s upbringing, playfully integrating UK clichés like being someone’s ‘cuppa tea’ and hanging out at a greasy spoon café.
Temptress have received notable support from Apple Music and Spotify, featuring in editorial playlists and accumulating over 3 million streams to date.
Their music has been championed by tastemakers in press and radio, including BBC Radio 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, and BBC Introducing, as well as receiving significant support from publications such as Wonderland, DIY, i-D, Complex, Dummy, Dork, and THE FADER.
Their appeal has extended to brands like Fred Perry and H&M, featuring in Fred Perry Subculture interviews, H&M’s in-store playlist, and on ‘Kickers Presents’ across social media platforms.
