An enchantingly atmospheric R&B/soul gem that will instantly draw you into its tempting tale. 

Dolton, Illinois-based Keonté, formerly known as Neko Neezy, is a multi-talented artist with a rich musical background. Growing up immersed in the sounds of Motown and the timeless hits of icons like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Usher, Keonté developed a deep appreciation for music and its storytelling power. Known for his “storybook style lyrics and articulate hip-hop verses,” he draws inspiration from his faith and love for artistic expression. Reflecting on the unique gift of music, Keonté shares, “Everybody got a story to tell.” His latest release is the dual-track R&B/soul single “Y O N A K A,” featuring the song “SATIN.”

With a captivating blend of immersive, dreamy tones and mood-setting beats, “SATIN” sets a soft, sensual backdrop that perfectly complements its passion-filled narrative. Lyrics like “When the sun goes down and the nights get cold, Leaves fall down and lights get low” and “Because I know you look too good to be alone, And I know that you’ve been waiting way too long” craft a vivid story of nighttime desires and the longing for connection with someone special. Enhanced by soothing vocals and a nostalgic vibe, Keonté delivers an enchantingly atmospheric R&B/soul gem that will draw you into its tempting tale. Press play and let the sweet sounds of “SATIN” seduce you.
