sounds for someone

Elmiene brings a poet’s sensibility to contemporary soul. Raised in Oxford, the British-Sudanese singer and songwriter draws on the warmth of classic R&B, making music that feels intimate, expressive and deeply human.

His debut album, sounds for someone, moves through grief, acceptance and love. Released on 27 March 2026, its twelve tracks include “Reclusive”, “Cry Against The Wind” and “Light By The Window”, featuring Raphael Saadiq. It is an invitation to sit with the feelings we do not always have words for.

The sounds for someone tour carries that music into a shared space. This November and December, Elmiene brings the album to stages across Europe and the UK, from Amsterdam’s Melkweg to London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Explore the record here, then find a show below.
