Pop-soul crooner Kamal. is back with his first drop of the year in “essential”. Produced by J Moon, the guitar-led track revolves around the familiar subject matter of romantic relationships but with a focus on the breakdown of a relationship that provided you with a love that you thought was essential.
Featuring his trademark sweet vocals, juxtaposed with the harsh reality of the song’s lyrics, the North-West London native effectively shares the toll that heartbreak takes on you with his poignant lyricism. In the emotive music video, directed by Amity Bloc, Kamal. and his friends can be seen taking out their frustration and anger as they drive around London at night and grapple with the complex emotions they’re experiencing.
