The mellow, reverb-soaked tunes of singer-songwriter Bazzi exist at the crossroads of R&B crooning, pop hooks, hip-hop swagger, and chillaxed downtempo vibes. Raised in Michigan but brewed in California, Bazzi went from Vine star to pop hitmaker thanks to the viral success of 2017’s frank valentine “Mine.” Since then, he’s toured with Justin Timberlake and worked with the likes of Camila Cabello, 21 Savage, and Korean boy band Exo, pouring out his laidback, lovestruck style of melancholy R&B across genres. Plainspoken, nostalgic, full of both anxiety and affection, Bazzi is the sound of modern pop.
