Kevin George

With its shadowy groove and spacy hooks, Kevin George's debut single, "High Like This," vaulted the young Connecticut-based producer and singer onto the alternative R&B map. Citing inspirations from Prince to Tame Impala and the Weeknd, George melds dark-toned R&B with hip-pop and left-field pop elements. Released in January 2018, "High Like This" is the lead single from his debut EP Loveland. Two more EPs, Fortina and Hopeless Romantic, arrived later that year. ~ Timothy Monger
