Caleb Kunle

The Nigerian-Irish artist is making deserved waves, recently marking his signing to Pony Recordings with new single ‘Could Be Good’, which was accompanied by a wonderfully stylish video. An ever-present in Irish music circles since the release of his 2017 EP Eden, in 2020 Kunle also released the ambient effort Rose Hertz. ‘Could Be Good’ captures the duality of an artist working through his transition from bustling inner-city Lagos to rural Ireland. It fuses soul, jazz and folk to brilliant effect.
