Sherwøød Is All Set To “Wait 4 U Again”
Sherwøød, UK’s genre-crossing artist and producer is set to drop his latest single “Wait 4 U Again” on Thursday, April 3rd. The London-based multi-instrumentalist’s song is a “deeply introspective track blending R&B and contemporary pop. With dreamy melodies and emotive vocals, it captures the longing and nostalgia of a love that was never real”.
“Wait 4 U Again” begins with electronic beats overlayed with a faint whiff of white noise, creating a retro futuristic entryway. At this time, the beat builds and swells while never quite preparing the listener for the drop. However, instead of disorienting, the drop steers the listener into the first verse. Here, the lyrics take center-stage as Sherwøød employs his rich, ringing vocals to evoke feelings of heartache in a deteriorating relationship. “Wake up/Something doesn’t feel right,” he professes, informing the listener about his tumult.
Sherwøød introduces a change of pace and a stylistic contrast in the mid-section. In this segment, he mixes sporadic beats and pitch shifts. This combination of delayed, dissonant beats with varying vocals emphasizes the singer’s pathos. The lyrics underscore a lover’s universal desperation where they will helplessly “Wait/Wait/Wait” despite the one-sided nature of things. Following this, Sherwøød maintains a steady, emotional rhythm, soulfully delivering his dissertation on forlorn love. Sherwøød walks us out of “Wait 4 U Again” in the outro, but not before wrapping up things with melancholic jocularity.
Sherwøød says, “I was stuck, high on the feelings of longing for the relationship I thought we would have. I tried to emulate the desperation I felt in the last days before I realized that this faux romantic pursuit is nothing but that. This song is that moment, frozen in time.”
Sherwøød Aims For The Stars
“A seasoned artist in his craft, Sherwood’s musical journey began at an early age, taking in multiple instruments. After discovering songwriting and production at Buck’s Rock Performing Arts Camp, Sherwood further refined his artistry, blending layered electronic sounds with Indie-rock, Hip-Hop, and R&B. His introspective style fuses vulnerability with poetic lyricism, balancing honesty and mystery at every point.
Sherwøød prepares to drop his self-titled EP soon. He is set for a milestone feature at O2 Academy Islington on April 3rd. With a feature at Far East Festival on May 31st, Sherwøød is a pivotal artist to watch out for.
“Wait 4 U Again” will be available on all major digital platforms on April 3, 2025.
