Rising South African artist Andre Graham has dropped his brand-new single, “Out The Blue.” The track explores the suffocating feeling of having no space or alone time in a relationship — where one-sided love and constant observation weigh heavily on daily life.
Originally written and recorded solely by Graham, “Out The Blue” sat unreleased for months before he brought it to long-time friend and collaborator Chaise Williams.
A prominent name in Cape Town’s music scene, Williams is known for appearing alongside Andre Graham on Love & Hip-Hop and for winning the 2023 Sport Scene Put Me On music competition. Together with producers Starbird and Luke Goliath, the pair shaped the track into the standout record it is today.
“A new era is upon my life with everything that’s about to come,” says Graham. “I’m excited for everyone who’s been a part of the journey to witness this new era of musicality and for everyone who’s yet to be a part to finally join us.”
Andre Graham’s music blends pop, hip-hop, and alternative influences, drawing inspiration from artists like Drake, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, The Neighbourhood, and Sleeping With Sirens. His soft pop vocals and emotive, melodic confessionals echo the likes of Trevor Daniel, Iann Dior, and Blackbear.
