SIPHO. – YEARN (Live from Southbank Centre)

R&B performance for the yearners by powerhouse British rising singer, SIPHO. curated by The Blues Project at London’s iconic Southbank Centre


Yearn: to have an intense feeling of longing for something, typically something that one has lost or been separated from

Recorded Sat 5 July at New Music Biennial 2025 – PRS Foundation and Southbank Centre’s new music festival in partnership with Bradford UK City of Culture.

Love, longing and passion are the centerpiece to this performance from Sipho., one of the most exciting rising voices known for his rousing vocals and melodies shaped by an eclectic musical palette that ranges from R&B, Rock, Soul and wider. Produced by The Blues Project, the UK’s leading platform for R&B / Soul, Sipho. performs a medley rooted in the vulnerability, yearning and authentic masculinity often missing from today’s musical landscape and cultural discourse.

Championed by COLORS, Jools Holland, BBC Radio 1, NPR, The Fader, Complex and more, Sipho. brings his refreshingly powerful voice and message to Yearn.
