Cikho captures romantic heartache on new single ‘3AM’
South East London artist Cikho returns with ‘3AM’, a dreamy new single that leans into the romantic sound he’s steadily building his name around. Pairing soft synths with a laid-back slow-jam groove, the track wraps romantic heartache in a warm, nostalgic glow.
Tender yet instantly catchy, ‘3AM’ finds its strength in the details. Guitar melodies sit at the centre of the production, weaving through deftly layered vocal harmonies to create a sound that feels intimate, effortless and distinctly his own.
Working alongside producer Luis Knowles, the single joins recent releases ‘Crush On You’ and ‘Blue’ in shaping a vivid sonic world for the young artist. Across the three tracks, Cikho balances hazy textures with melodic songwriting, drawing on the softer side of R&B while maintaining a sound that feels personal and considered.
Having recently signed to 0207 Def Jam, Cikho is preparing to take the next step in his career. ‘3AM’ feels well suited to that moment, reinforcing the melodic instincts and romantic sensibility that have become central to his sound while offering another reason to keep him on the radar.
