Making waves.

We here at Cool Accidents have been working on a charity initiative to throw some love and support back to the music industry who is suffering greatly under the pressure of the global COVID19 pandemic.

Though once upon a time they were frowned upon, in 2019 tattoos are a part of life - your teachers have them, your bosses have them, politicians have them, and you and your mates have them. 

We've been keeping an eye on alt-R&B newcomer AUGUST 08 of late, particularly through the drop of his most recent single Simple Pleasures. 

One of our favourite new artists at the moment would have to be AUGUST 08, one of the members of the 88RISING collective and a new alt-R&B voice that's bringing fresh, innovative dance-R&B to our ears.

88Rising singer/producer/writer AUGUST 08 stunned us with the pulsating Blood On My Hands featuring Smino earlier this year and now he's back with an uptempo alt-R&B/dance banger called Simple Pleasures.

It seems alt-R&B is having a moment with the likes of Solange, SZA, Jorja Smith and Pink Sweat$ copping a lot of critical acclaim and attention for their modern yet traditionally soulful approach to R&B.
