Linking up with the OG Taka Perry, Khan comes through with an R&B gem that feels astonishingly fresh in ‘Gameboy’, and it’s completely uncompromising. It’s not concerned with playing to an audience or selling a false image, it’s just pure feeling, pure art. Featuring a steady keys-driven beat and some transcendent harmonies that you just know Khan would’ve smashed in one take, the tune emanates a confidence that reeks of quiet determination, reeks of an artist who’s put in the hours and who’s pushed herself further than most consider possible. ‘Gameboy’ is just the beginning, and you’d be doing yourself a favour if you jumped on the train now.
