UK R&B fans, this one’s for you. London’s Ojerime has released a new EP, Don’t Stare At The Flame, her first project since Interludes in 2023.

The eight-track set came out on 6 November, and according to Clash it leans further into ’90s soul, with piano ballads, layered vocal runs and mid-tempo songs about independence, desire, relationship frustrations and changing loyalties.

Who’s on it

• ‘IDC’ features Kaytranada.
• ‘Friends Like You’ is produced by Seattle-based producer Sango, and Clash picks it as a highlight.
• ‘Do It Like Me’ features SAMO & Villabeatz.

The EP follows her 2026 singles ‘SAFE’, ‘4ME’ and ‘TOPDOWN’. ‘TOPDOWN’ was produced by Canadian duo Keys N Krates, whose credits include Ciara, Rochelle Jordan and Katy B.

Ojerime came through before the pandemic and has built her name by giving classic R&B a grittier, homegrown UK feel. Clash says a tour is planned for 2027, so keep an eye out for dates.
