WATCH: ‘In the Crates’ with Summer-Pearl

For the second episode of our In the Crates series, we sat with the supreme emerging talent that is Summer-Pearl. This singer-lyricist is one to watch! A powerhouse of vocals and introspective lyricism and flow, she insists isn’t quite rap.

Effortlessly flowing between Hip Hop and Soul in the style of legends like Lauryn Hill & Erykah Badu, we go In The Crates with Summer-Pearl about her biggest musical inspirations.

In The Crates is a new series where we dig through the music collections, vinyl crates and musical inspirations of our BLUES100 artists. Brought to you by The Blues Project, the BLUES100 is our ode to UK R&B, Soul and Neo-Jazz scenes! The exceptional talent in the new-age R&B / Soul scene here in UK just does not have the platform it deserves. The BLUES100 is finally the home for that talent.

The BLUES100 is more than just a list of the best 100. It’s a movement with a purpose: celebrating and supporting these artists to keep creating. Our mission is to create sustainable income for these artists through a membership that brings you the best musical experiences and exclusives. Find out and support here.
