It’s always heartening when the quietly committed are granted their righteous rewards. In this case: rise up, K15. After a six-year residency at Camden’s Jazz Café and a string of all-too-unsung releases on WotNot Music, it was only a matter of when rather than if that K15 would catch his wave. Now with Insecurities — his wonderfully deep debut on Kyle Hall’s Wild Oats — in the trunk (and in amongst several end-of-year lists), K’s been given the well-earned honour of cutting the tape on No Room For Air, Wild Oats’ newborn sister label.

“Mist” is a gentle sleepwalk into a lower key: a turn down from the club and a chance for K15 to parade his soulful versatility. A blend of head-nod drums, rising strings, and a gorgeous Amerie flip to boot — it’s only a crime this one ends so soon.

Cop the full EP in mid-February. Pre-orders already sold out!
