Technically, 90s R&B is a thing of the past, but its influence in today’s music is still alive and strong. And, Houston-born composer, Coline Creuzot is among the generation of singers and songwriters who strives to preserve it.
You’ve probably heard about Coline’s 2016 single “Truth Is” when it rose to number #24 on the U.S Billboard Adult R&B/Contemporary chart; or you might have heard her sultry vocals on radio and digital airwaves. Now, the burgeoning diva is back with “High Life,” a provocative, upbeat, tune—just right for the summer. On the hook, Coline interpolates the famous line from the classic 1977 hit “Ooh Boy” by R& B group, Rose Royce.
“Ooh boy, I love you so never ever, ever gonna let you go, let you go; never ever, ever gonna let you go.”
Written by Dallas Blocker and produced by J Sounds, the single is what Coline describes as a breath of fresh air.
“My friend Dallas called after I released my last single ‘Truth Is,’ and told me he wrote an amazing song for me,” said Coline in a press release. “When I heard ‘High Life’ I instantly fell in love with it; it’s a breath of fresh air.”
The new track explores a new musical direction for the singer, but Coline says it’s still her:
“It’s fun and sexy but still me and it matches the sounds of the other songs on my project.”
The new single shows a new side of the rising starlet who mostly pens songs about relationships and heartbreak. Currently, the Sony ATV signee is working on her third studio album Timeless, slated for release this summer. Coline’s heartfelt writing chops in tandem with her vocal prowess have led to her being the opening act for various multiplatinum-selling recording artists including Monica, T-Pain, T.I., and Keyshia Cole. With a musical style that implements elements of hip-hop and “chopped n screwed” music; the songster with a big heart and an expansive voice range is building a lane of her own.
