You may have read about Human Re Sources artist/songwriter Pink Sweat$ in our recent New & Developing Artists rundown; you’re likely to hear quite a bit more about him soon. The 26-year-old Philly native developed his considerable songwriting versatility working with artists ranging from Nashville’s Florida Georgia Line to hip-hop breakout Tierra Whack and pop breakout MAX; on his own he’s racked up 13m Spotify streams and press love (New York Times, Fader, Hypebeast) thanks to jams like “Honesty” (the twisty video for which has earned 1.7m+ YouTube views and appears below), “No Replacing You” and “Would You.”
What all these stats don’t tell you is that dude has some serious old-school R&B mojo, complete with a truly pure falsetto, and a distinctive, fearless style. Check it.
