Breaking
Trouble is Mark Taiwo writing his own front page.
Six songs about love, loss, and the version of you that gets discussed in rooms you have never been in — delivered in a baritone that stays low and conversational even when the feeling refuses to.
It moves from the swagger of X-Man to the quiet damage of Don’t Leave without ever raising its voice: afro-bashment rhythm underneath, R&B restraint on top, and features from Diedrick and Haych.
Out everywhere Friday 28 August 2026.
One night only
First listen, live vocals, and the people who made the record — one night in the Conduit Street rooms. Capacity is tight and tickets are limited.
