Caitlyn Scar­lett is an inde­pend­ent, Lon­don-based artist join­ing forces with Raf Riley for their next pro­ject based single “No Gen­tle­men”. Raf’s label Loup has great accol­ades already work­ing with UK tal­ent, Etta Bond, Avelino, Lab­rinth, Pro­fess­or Green to US sounds, like Diplo.

Shar­ing his inten­tions with Loup record label, Raf says: ‘All around this city there are pock­ets of amaz­ing untapped tal­ent, some of them don’t even know it. Loup is about amp­li­fy­ing the mis­fits, weirdos and unique voices around Lon­don in a way you’ve nev­er heard before.’

Raf pulls inspir­a­tion from both old school hip-hop artist’s like, Busta Rhymes and new talent’s  includ­ing, Skep­ta; these influ­ences radi­ate through the nuanced and atmo­spher­ic pro­duc­tion that backs this col­lab­or­at­ive offering.

‘No Gen­tle­men’ hears Caitlyn’s unequi­voc­al vocals light up an old West­ern-esque beat. With her impas­sioned and unfal­ter­ing vocal deliv­er­ance, which explores themes of heart­break and mis­treat­ment in romance. While mak­ing it almost invig­or­at­ing and enti­cing to hear — cre­at­ing an out­stand­ing listen­ing exper­i­ence that begs for a replay.

Scar­lett is one of London’s most respec­ted and highly-dec­or­ated, inde­pend­ent sing­er-song­writers. Draw­ing influ­ence from the likes of Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks, the song­stress harbor’s a gor­geous, altern­at­ive-indie son­ic that you could file next to the likes of FKA Twigs and Rosalia.

Her writ­ing skills have landed an array of impress­ive achieve­ments, includ­ing her 50 mil­lion streams on Spo­ti­fy; a deal with BMG; a place at Roc Nation’s writ­ing camp; a sync on pop­u­lar real­ity show Love Island; a theme song on the BBC Drama Clique and more!

With a num­ber of suc­cess­ful singles and co-writers under her belt, Caitlyn shows no indic­a­tion of put­ting her foot on the brake any time soon.
