Today, one of music’s most thrilling ensembles, No Guidnce release their breathtaking new Unplugged EP. The staggering body of work houses a collection of acoustic tracks that brilliantly showcase the group’s soaring undeniable talent. In celebration, the group shares a series of captivating live performances that brings each song from the project to life. Honouring the iconic R&B that came before them, the group also shares a mesmerising, stripped-down interpretation of New Edition’s “Can You Stand the Rain.” The project captures the irresistible magnetism and magic at the core of their music through their explosive signature sound, which has garnered large critical worldwide acclaim and established the group as a major force in the R&B arena today.
The Unplugged EP follows the release of the group’s Spicy EP that saw the group returning to the classic R&B roots that shaped them. Along with their breakthrough Is It A Crime? EP, the group has produced back-to-back remarkable singles, seeing them successfully carve out their own lane in the larger music arena and establish a global cult following in only a matter of months. Additionally, the group recently wrapped their first ever tour supporting the beloved singer Mahalia across Europe during this fall.
ABOUT NO GUIDNCE:
No Guidnce is the product of four young men coming together to find community and provide connection to others through their deep love for music. The group’s one-of-a-kind magnetism is nurtured through their real life friendship and genuine brotherhood that is hard to resist. While they manage to thrill with insatiable melodies and their collective soaring talent, the group is establishing an extraordinary legacy for their largely immigrant families and communities through the power of deep representation and shared values that is connecting with millions around the globe.
The group has quite certainly taken the music arena by storm, reaching accolades rarely seen with new artists and a true testament to their unmatched star power. With only a handful of songs under their belts, the group has quickly grabbed the attention of many stretching across every corner of the world. Very early on, they garnered large praise from beloved artists such as Summer Walker, Timbaland, Babyface, Stormzy, Labrinth, Miguel, Snoop Dogg, Lucky Daye, JoJo, Justine Skye and Boyz II Men themselves. Additionally, the group has racked up millions of streams on Spotify and views on TikTok, amassing over 2.8M followers on TikTok and not to mention over 1 billion views last year alone. The group also has six of the most-viewed R&B videos of all time across the platform and were the sixth most-viewed/followed artists on TikTok within the UK last year, coming out of the gate with a robust social media following that they carefully and rigorously built by hand. Their massive worldwide success couldn’t be clearer as they recently sold out their first ever shows in Europe and the United States with fans lining up for hours to get a glimpse of the wunderkinds.
Comprised of Londoners Zeekay, Ebubé, Josh & Kaci, No Guidnce proves that R&B is more alive and necessary than ever. Their debut Is It A Crime? EP was born from collaborations with an all-star team of producers & writers on the project that include Victoria Monét (Ariana Grandé, Nas), JR Rotem (Rihanna, Bad Bunny), Akeel Henry (Giveon, John Legend), Lunchmoney Lewis (Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne) & Theron Thomas (Lizzo, Usher) to name just a few. The group has brilliantly established a new lane in music that will undoubtedly transform the musical landscape unlike we’ve ever seen before.
More to come from No Guidnce soon.
“NO GUIDNCE UNPLUGGED! This project feels really special! We wanted to end the year with a stripped back collection of some of our favorite songs from our debut year of 2023 & take them to a new level. We made this out in LA with Jeff Gitty & can’t wait for you guys to hear our new takes on some of our favorite tracks.”
