cade clair

A slinky 2024 single that filtered the sound of R&B at its most seductive through a prism of trap, Jersey club, and hyperpop, "Call Me" confirmed cade clair's status as one of the most compelling hip-hop talents to emerge in the early 2020s. Otherwise known as Kamoren Watts-White, the singer and rapper first garnered buzz online with 2023's "Young and Reckless," "Gah Dam," and several more singles that highlighted his ability to combine a dexterous flow with frenetic energy. Collaborations with the similarly fast-emerging talents Odetari ("LOOK DON'T TOUCH") and Lumi Athena (the explosive "Smoke It Off!") accelerated his rise. They also led to his team-up with XLOVCLO on 2024's "Eye On You," a slinkier showcase for cade clair's Weeknd-like aptitude for slow-burn tension and yearning vulnerability.
