“Genre-Defying” – The Atlantic
“soul-infused trip, combining the heart of Frank Ocean’s lyrics with the echoey, psychedelic sound of Tame Impala” – Billboard
“HAN is as slick as they come; a record stacked end to end with breezy melodies and breakdowns that feel so damn easy it’s almost criminal” – Happy Mag
“steadily making a name for himself as an artist with a disregard for genre boundaries” – Complex
“funky…electro-soaked ’80s a la Madonna, Prince and Bowie” – NPR Music

Berhana has unveiled his anticipated debut full-length ‘HAN’ via EQT Recordings (JPEGMAFIA, Masego) / Caroline Australia. One of the most exciting R&B artists working right now flexes his range and cinematic vision on this psychedelic collage of alternative R&B.
Berhana also releases his video for latest single “G2g.” A rock-driven tale of love gone wrong bolstered by fast-paced drums and guitar, the video crafts a claustrophobic, Lynchian landscape veering between Berhana in bed with a lover and running through a seemingly endless tunnel. “I got it bad / I gotta go” Berhana drones over fast-paced drums as the song ramps up to a gentle crescendo: an instrumental psych-rock outro that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Tame Impala song—and with the visuals to match.

“G2g” is the latest single off ‘HAN,’ following “I Been” ft. K-pop singer Crush and “Lucky Strike” and lead single “Health Food,” described by Complex as a swirl of “psychedelia, disco, and funk influences.”
A promising collection of songs from a rising talent that’s moved relatively under-the-radar, Berhana’s debut is a soulful dance fantasia filled with fast-paced walls of sound and funktronic reflections of desire, ranging from “soul-infused trips” (Billboard) like single “Lucky Strike” to complex psychedelic-disco jams (lead single “Health Food”).
Berhana has been making waves since dropping his self-titled debut EP in 2016. The Atlanta-born musician has received endorsements for “breezy, soulful” (HYPEBEAST) and smartly-written songs that have gotten the attention of the likes of Janet Hubert and Donald Glover. His song “Grey Luh” was featured on Glover’s show Atlanta. Berhana has played Pitchfork Festival, with his unique live blend of funkadelia garnering comparisons to Miguel, Frank Ocean, Tame Impala, and Anderson Paak. Set to make a huge splash for R&B and funk fans alike, Berhana proves himself “one to watch” (Variance).
