Nepalese producer Sagun has today revealed his new EP feathers, out now via London based artist services company Platoon. The EP release follows recent single "it's too late to keep it together," which features R&B duo The KTNA on vocals.
Speaking about the new EP, Sagun said:
"This EP project was totally experimental and at first, I had no idea how it was gonna go. I was really nervous because it was my first time in the studio with all the people around me while I make music".
Before travelling to London for the first time in February 2019 to record new music and collaborate with other musicians, the Twenty-One-year-old Sagun had never left his home country, or even owned a passport. Having taught himself digital audio software Fruity Loops after being inspired by the work of American rapper and producer J. Cole, Sagun began quietly uploading his music to streaming services.
The first track released publicly in 2017 via Platoon, "I'll Keep You Safe", has gone on to gain more than 35,000,000 plays on Spotify alone and immediately marked him out as a prodigiously talented producer. Since then he has gone on to release a number of further singles and EPs, including 2018's height & yellow hills EPs and has racked up more than 70,000,000 streams in the process, maintaining complete anonymity until now.
With his new EP feathers, Sagun is pushing his sound into new and unexpected directions. The EP's focus track "i miss the old you," features fellow Platoon act Kali Claire and this new music speaks to an increasingly confident and mature Sagun, an artist ready to let the world into his ever-expanding musical universe.
