South London’s Grammy-winning saxophonist and producer Venna returns with his latest release, “Twisting”, a collaboration with R&B talent Leon Thomas.
The fourth offering from his highly anticipated debut album MALIK, “Twisting” delivers an expansive and emotionally rich soundscape inspired by Venna’s time spent abroad—most notably in Brazil. It’s a layered and transportive listen, where soulful textures and Thomas’s ethereal vocals converge to create something dreamlike and immersive.
Built on lush instrumentation, the track showcases a tight-knit collective of creative heavyweights. Alex Bourt brings dynamic percussion, Yussef Dayes contributes his signature style on drums and production, Marco Bernardis weaves in melodic depth with tenor sax, bass, and guitar, while Venna steers the entire experience—laying down vocals, producing, and anchoring it all with his unmistakable alto sax.
