VanJess Release the Sultry ’90s R&B Influenced ‘High & Dry’
Today, Nigerian-American sister duo VanJess released their new single “High & Dry” via Keep Cool/RCA Records. The sultry new song and striking visualizer adds to their oeuvre of “pure pulsating, mezmerising magic” (Wonderland).
“High & Dry” is a sensual invitation of a song, buoyed by VanJess’ stylish vocals and cheeky wordplay. Their unique R&B flair slyly beckons suitors behind closed doors with deep choral motifs and silky musicality.
“High & Dry” comes just a month after the nostalgia-inducing “Come Over.” The music video is even more indebted to smooth ‘90s R&B – a throwback to landline phones and talking to crushes in basements. Recently, the sisters gave an incandescent live performance of the single complete with lush visuals and their undeniable harmonies.
Growing up between Lagos, Nigeria, and California, VanJess has brought an entirely new take to contemporary R&B, one that pays tribute to ‘90s greats like TLC, SWV, and Aaliyah, while instinctually inciting an inimitable style.
The sisters cut their teeth online with a string of viral covers, bursting onto the scene with their self-released debut album, “Silk Canvas,” a definitive R&B statement, and a smooth, seductive record that took the R&B world by storm.
