British singer/songwriter Sekou (@sekou) is stepping into a new era with his latest mixtape, In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1. The 21-year-old has a special, distinct voice that positions him in his own lane in the classic, contemporary, and soulful realm. Through this project, he’s showing off the warm, emotional sound that’s been turning heads across the UK. The five-track project arrives just days before his sold-out headline show at London’s Bush Hall on November 20th, which was a show that sold out in minutes.
The mixtape opens with two recently released songs, “Never Gunna Give You Up” and “Catching Bodies.” Both tracks bring a bright, upbeat energy that pulls listeners in right away. Sekou mixes honesty and confidence in a way that feels youthful but grounded, letting fans into a space where he can be vulnerable without losing his strength.
In addition, the tempo slows down for the lead single, “Love Language,” an emotional ballad that highlights what Sekou does best. It’s soft, honest storytelling at the core.
A Balanced Project
The project closes with “About Last Night” and “Keep My Love,” which balance each other out perfectly. “About Last Night” keeps the upbeat feel from earlier, while “Keep My Love” ends the project on a gentle, heartfelt note. The final track especially shows how much Sekou is capable of as a writer and a performer.
In A World We Don’t Belong Pt. 1 lands at a key moment in Sekou’s career. He’s connected with major artists like Justin Bieber, Central Cee, and Kevin Abstract, even earning praise from Elton John. Most recently, he opened for FLO on tour, with a standout set at London’s O2 Brixton Academy.
Furthermore, with this mixtape, Sekou continues to build his own lane and positions himself as one of the most exciting new voices in British music.
