Meet rising R&B artist Ady Suleiman from the United Kingdom, delivering a lush, immersive soundscape with his newest single, “What If”—a soulful, old-school track that feels effortless from start to finish.
Suleiman’s vocals carry a slight resemblance to Sampha, but his tone is distinct and captivating, conveying emotion with precision in every lyric.
A subtle chipmunk loop emerges at the start and quietly lingers beneath the track, adding another layer of texture. It mirrors the feeling of multiple thoughts competing for attention, creating an immersive, almost chaotic undercurrent that complements the song’s reflective theme.
Lyrically, “What If” explores the mental gymnastics of trying to move on from a relationship that doesn’t feel fully over—the endless “what ifs” that keep you awake at night.
The track is propelled by an addictive breakbeat with organic drums, giving Suleiman’s vocals plenty of room to shine.
Subtle reverb enhances the soulfulness of each line, making “What If” a mesmerizing listen that lingers long after it ends.
