Confidently impressing on his scorching previous single “Bodyline”, Spanish R&B sensation XNilo teases his forthcoming mixtape with his latest release “Long Time Coming.”
Seeping in synths, bass, and deep pulsing rhythms, “Long Time Coming” is bold yet gritty cut, with dance flair and an unapologetic energy that runs throughout the song’s entirety. The electric new single, mixed by Paul Simm (Amy Winehouse, Neneh Cherry) is a salute to leaving a toxic romantic situation, taking his R&B repertoire on an alternative route, and proving his pedigree as a well-versed artist.
With DEIVOL in the director’s chair this time around, the brand-new video for “Long Time Coming” doubles down on its dance appeal with XNilo starring amongst the bright neon lights as he struts through the club with a care free coolness coming through cutting his loses.
Speaking on the new release, XNilo shared: “This track is a rolling anthem that lyrically speaks of finding it hard to let go of someone you know is no good for you. I wrote and produced this song when I was in a dark place, and music was the only thing that helped me get through the situation I found myself in at that time.”
With his forthcoming project around the corner, support has been coming in thick and fast, with his previous single “Bodyline” getting a ton of praise from the likes of BBC Introducing, Radio 1, 1Xtra and Capital Xtra. The momentum around XNilo continues to grow with every release.
