WHAT IT IS: Pink Sweat$ is a fresh young face among R&B singer/songwriters. The music is rooted in R&B and soul, but he strips back the typical genre-specific production to showcase melodic intricacy and lyrical prowess. Debut single “Honesty,” which dropped in July, launched his career to an auspicious start, reaching #10 and #23 on Spotify’s Viral U.S. and global charts, respectively. Despite the success of “Honesty,” Pink Sweat$ is only just getting started. His debut EP, Volume 1, is expected to be released this year.
