British-Caribbean Artist ISLAND BANKS Brings Latin Flavour to His Summer Afroswing R&B Single ‘Passion’
This Summer 2021, British-Caribbean singer-songwriter ISLAND BANKS brings a heady mix of romance and tropical escape to his new afroswing single, ‘Passion’. Blending Spanish elements with his smooth, clean R&B vocals, ‘Passion’ feels both timeless and modern, underscored by an addictive afroswing backbone.
“I wanted to created something fresh by mixing Afroswing with Spanish instruments, layered with my first love, which is R&B.” — ISLAND BANKS
