If you can judge a singer-songwriter by the company they keep, then no wonder 18-year-old Kamal is on the rise. He has co-signs from Dave, Annie Mac and Billie Eilish, while his woozy pop-R&B jams have already racked up over 45 million streams on Spotify. He’s even written one of the de facto lockdown anthems, Homebody, although it was actually penned pre-quarantine. No matter, as the world returns to normal, expect Kamal to go places, in every sense of the phrase.
