Ebubé, London’s rising star, returns with soul-stirring R&B cut “Where I Wanna Be,” released under the record label Lionbear. With each note, the singer and multi-instrumentalist beckons listeners into an emotional landscape of longing and sincerity, an elixir of sorts for a toxicity that often clouds contemporary tunes.
Co-written with Tyler Lewis and brought to life by producers RELYT (FLO, Victor Ray, Ayanna) and Joe Gosling (Chris Brown), “Where I Wanna Be” is a master class in contemporary R&B storytelling. The song’s elegant instrumentation, plush textures, and close-up production frame Ebubé’s rich vocals in a way that sounds both timeless and profoundly revealing.
As the verses unfold, Ebubé’s voice is dripping with sincerity, conveying that shared feeling in the world of longing and the desire to be around someone even when you’re at odds with them. The chorus hangs like a late-night confession, seamlessly melding classic R&B influences with contemporary sensibilities.
In an era where mainstream R&B frequently revels in heartbreak and toxicity, Ebubé provides a refreshing perspective that centers love, alone or vulnerable, providing nuance with emotional depth.
