Cikho continues his rise with new single ‘Crush On You’

South East London newcomer Cikho continues to build momentum with the release of his latest single, ‘Crush On You’, offering another glimpse into the colourful sonic world that has quickly made him one of the UK's most exciting emerging artists.

Still only 20 years old, Cikho has quietly developed a dedicated following since first uploading music online as a teenager in 2022. Blending soulful songwriting with dreamy production and effortlessly melodic vocals, he's built a sound that feels both distinctive and refreshingly understated.

On ‘Crush On You’, Cikho once again teams up with producer Luis Knowles to deliver a record that feels warm, vibrant and emotionally honest. Built around airy guitars, infectious basslines and smooth vocal melodies, the track captures the excitement, vulnerability and uncertainty that come with developing feelings for someone, all wrapped up in his signature genre-blurring sound.

Following on from ‘Fell Again’, the new single sees Cikho further refine his artistic identity. The production feels richer, the songwriting more assured and the overall sound even more immersive, highlighting the growth of an artist who continues to evolve with every release.

The timing couldn't be better either. Fresh from signing with 0207 Def Jam, Cikho enters an exciting new chapter of his career, with ‘Crush On You’ marking the latest step towards what promises to be a huge breakthrough year.

With more music already lined up for release, Cikho is steadily carving out a lane of his own. ‘Crush On You’ is another reminder that one of the UK's brightest new talents is only just getting started.
