HONNE – Baby Please

For those who’ve been anywhere near me for the past couple of weeks, you know HONNE has essentially been on repeat. HONNE, the English duo comprised of James (producer) and his university bud Andy (singer/producer), formally began about a year ago. Nevertheless, their silky downtempo R&B is reminiscent of Chet Faker and has already opened doors for the young group. These guys have real potential to do big things, especially after signing with Coda – the prominent London booking agency whose live roster boasts some of our favorites including Disclosure, Flume, AlunaGeorge, FKA Twigs and many others. In addition to their three previous EP’s and a few fire remixes, HONNE just released their latest EP Over Lover and announced a predominately UK tour. Throw on HONNE when you want to unwind during a late night drive – you won’t regret it.
