UK R&B singer-songwriter Tiana Major9 makes her long-awaited return with the powerful new single “Shook One.” After a two-year hiatus, Tiana reclaims her space in music with a bold reinterpretation of one of hip-hop’s most iconic tracks, Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones Pt II.”
With her signature blend of soulful vocals and raw honesty, Tiana transforms the classic into a modern R&B confessional—exploring heartbreak, vulnerability, and the frustration of loving someone too afraid to reciprocate. The single finds her weaving piercing lines like: “I just wanted you to say when I say that ‘I love you’ / But you run / Like a shook one”—delivered with the emotional depth that has become her trademark.
Accompanied by a Benji Allen-directed video shot in black and white across New York City, “Shook One” captures the timeless spirit of the original while showcasing Tiana’s own artistry. From subway rides to summer streets and a powerful mural tribute to Mobb Deep, the visual grounds her homage in the city where the classic was born.
“Shook One” follows her acclaimed singles “Money” and “Alone”—earning praise from The Guardian, Billboard, CLASH, Essence, COLORS, and more. Earlier this year, Tiana also held an NTS Radio residency and delivered a standout BBC Radio 1Xtra Live Lounge performance, highlighting her vocal precision and range.
With over 200M streams, collaborations alongside Stormzy, EARTHGANG, Bryson Tiller, and Unknown T, and a GRAMMY nomination for “Collide” from the Queen & Slim soundtrack, Tiana Major9 has already cemented herself as one of the UK’s most compelling voices. Now, with “Shook One” and a debut album on the way in 2025, she begins a confident new chapter—blending her love of R&B, jazz, and hip-hop while staying true to the vulnerability and honesty that set her apart.

The accompanying cinematic visual captures Adé cruising through Los Angeles with nostalgic ease, flanked by a tight circle, carrying himself with intention at every turn.
Phil Adé shares, “I recorded ‘M.I.A.’ in the middle of the pandemic at a time when being out of the way felt like the theme of my life—but I wanted it to still be high energy and motivational”. He adds “I’m back, fully in control of my career, and there’s nothing or no one stopping me now but me.”

Nigerian born, Texas-raised duo KAIRO share their new single “PLACEHOLDER” featuring buzzing alt-pop artist Amelia Moore. The track is a genre-bending collision of KAIRO’s heartfelt storytelling and signature harmonies with Moore’s fearless wit and edge.
Speaking of the song, KAIRO shares: “This song is a milestone for us in every way – it’s our first-ever feature, our first single since our debut album dropped last year, and the lead single from our upcoming EP. From the moment we wrote it, we knew it needed a female perspective to bring it to life – and there was only one person we had in mind: Amelia. We texted her the demo, and she hit us back immediately with, ‘just ran it back 6 times in the whip…so fire…YES!’ We’ve been longtime fans of her work, but over the last year in LA, we’ve also become real friends – which made this collaboration feel even more special. To say we’re honored to have her join us on this record is an understatement.”
When asked about her experience working with KAIRO, Amelia shares: “This is my first time featuring on another artist’s song and I couldn’t be more proud of how “PLACEHOLDER” turned out! I think it’s sonically and visually the perfect combination of our two worlds and I’m just grateful to be a part of their project.”
KAIRO is an alt-pop/R&B duo composed of identical twin brothers EJ and AK Odijighoro. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and raised in Houston, Texas, the brothers honed their musical talents in their father’s church – EJ on piano, AK on drums – where they began shaping the harmonies and emotional depth that fuel their sound today. After gaining viral traction on TikTok in 2021, they officially debuted as KAIRO in 2022 with Love Letters From Houston, earning millions of streams and praise from Billboard and GRAMMY.com. Their follow-up EP, Return To Sender, featured the breakout single “Movie Star,” which surpassed 10 million global streams.
Newly signed to Def Jam Recordings, KAIRO released their debut album ARE WE THERE YET? — a 13-track odyssey chronicling their journey as Nigerian-American immigrants carving their place in music. With their kaleidoscopic blend of alt-pop urgency, R&B soul, and cinematic vocal layering, KAIRO are redefining what the next wave of pop looks and sounds like.
