We say

London-based artist, violinist and producer IMVN returns with ‘Host’, a striking new single from her upcoming project ‘Syren’ (out September via ColorsxStudios). Co-written and produced with Ollie Deane during a single-day studio session, ‘Host’ was inspired by a friend’s toxic relationship, before morphing into a personal metaphor for emotional release and transformation. Released earlier this week, the track blends haunting ambient soundscapes, electronic textures, live drums and soaring vocals into a cinematic, emotionally raw sound. Vulnerable, open and strikingly immersive, ‘Host’ is a beautiful and dynamic track deserving of your attention. Perfect for editorial playlists at DSPs focused on electronic, ethereal and cinematic sounds, the track also holds strong radio potential for spins on Radio 1, 6 Music and 1Xtra. Backed by tastemakers including Notion, Crack Magazine, The Line of Best Fit and Numero, and with support from BBC Introducing, Radio 1, 6 Music and 1Xtra, IMVN continues to build strong momentum ahead of what promises to be a breakout release. ‘Host’ is a bold, exciting and expressive cut that makes her one of London’s most visionary emerging talents. For fans of FKA Twigs, Sevdaliza and Kelela.
