Ady Suleiman is making waves from across the pond, and honestly? His latest single "What If" hits different. This UK-based R&B artist crafts something truly special here—a lush soundscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
His voice reminds me of Sampha at times, but don’t get it twisted. Suleiman’s got his own thing going on, with this captivating tone that just cuts right through you.
There’s this subtle chipmunk loop that creeps in early and never really leaves. It’s like having multiple thoughts bouncing around your head—which is probably the point, considering what this song’s about.
Speaking of which… "What If" dives deep into those late-night relationship spirals we’ve all been through. You know the ones—when you’re supposed to be moving on but your brain won’t stop playing the "what if" game.
The breakbeat underneath is absolutely addictive. Those organic drums give Suleiman’s vocals all the space they need to soar, and boy, does he take advantage of it.
That reverb though—it’s doing something magical to every line he delivers. Makes the whole thing feel like it’s wrapping around you, long after the track fades out.
