Malik puts a fresh spin on R&B conventions in his new single ‘Tek Time’.

      Malik English reconnects with his heritage in his latest single, ‘Tek Time’.

      Based in New York, this versatile artist combines his songwriting talents with impressive studio skills, breaking down conventional boundaries to create something fresh. While primarily grounded in R&B, he adeptly blends elements from various genres, establishing a distinct sound.

      As an artist-producer hailing from one of the world’s vibrant music hubs, Malik's roots trace back to Trinidad, Nigeria, and Canada. Thus, ‘Tek Time’ serves as more than just a soulful anthem; it represents an opportunity for him to reconnect with his origins.

      Now available, the track infuses soulful elements with Caribbean-inspired production, enhanced by his captivating vocals.

      He shares…

      The idea for ‘Tek Time’ originated after my visit to Trinidad, where I discovered parts of the island that were new to me. Immersing myself in the local culture, music, and atmosphere inspired me to incorporate those influences into my own work.

      I aimed to capture the essence of falling in love in the club—the electric connection when you first meet someone, where everything feels fresh and thrilling. This experience, along with my passion for R&B and Afrobeats, contributed to the song's sensual yet energetic vibe.

      It’s all about being caught in the early stages of love, where every moment seems to freeze.

      Echoing the early sounds of Roy Woods or even innovators like Partynextdoor, ‘Tek Time’ elevates the standard once again.
