WHAT IT IS: Interlacing airy vocals and enchanting harmonies, singer/songwriter Fousheé is making music for the times we’re living in. With a focus on self-care and empowerment, she’s quickly making an impact as her single, “Deep End,” ascends the Alternative and Urban radio charts. The song has hit #1 on the Shazam Global chart and has been featured on playlists including Spotify’s New Music Friday and Apple Music’s New Music Daily. It took off when rapper Sleepy Hollow’s “Deep End Freestyle,”—which featured vocal samples from Fousheé, unbeknown to her—exploded off TikTok. Between that song and follow-up track “single af,” she’s garnered 162m+ global streams in what’s shaping up as a solid 2021.
