Back in February (which now feels like a lifetime ago), Stockholm-based singer Nápoles made her debut with the beautifully understated "Slowzy", a jazzy piece of R&B backed by a robust bass line and brought to life with some intimate BTS visuals. Continuing that theme neatly, she's now back with follow-up single "Circulate", another smoky, jazz-flecked piece of R&B that puts the emphasis on the blues element thanks to production from fellow Swede Chapee.
The audio dropped at the top of the month and now she's back with the visuals. Directed by Gustav Andersson with cinematography from Daniel Edin, the visuals meet the slow-and-low tempo with shots of Nápoles and her friends in a taxi as they head out to the function before placing her and her friends under a smouldering dark light as they twist and turn to the undulating beat.
If her name sounds familiar to you it may be from her work as one third of DJ and creative collective Ladieslovehiphop, with whom she has opened for Beyonce and Jay Z. This year, however, she's stepping out on her own and the stage is set for a big year for the rising Stockholm singer.
