London singer Shanaz Dorsett is a vocalist who is poised to make a major mark in music. Known for her work as a member of the cutting edge band Benin City, Dorsett’s voice rings with beauty with though-provoking lyricism that spans the spectrum of gender issues, stereotypes and more, making her one of the most exciting acts in the modern soul scene.

Dorsett’s latest single ‘Cake’ highlights her uncanny ability to deliver honey sweet vocals over cosmic laced soul whipped with a future jazz and Hip-Hop polishing. Produced by Ben Marc, the song dances with sophistication, creating a lush and atmospheric soundscape. The tune is the title cut to her debut EP, forthcoming via Black Wave records. We have a world premiere of the ‘Cake’ which you can stream below.

Touching on her inspiration for writing and music, Shanaz Dorsett stated:

“My heritage, people on the train, Black Feminists, zines and immigrant aunties gossiping.”
