NESTA emerges with a sound rooted in soul, honesty, and Caribbean groove. Now, his newest single, "Be My Love," is a smooth, genre-blending gem that showcases the Queens-bred musician as he carves out a lane that is genuinely his own, one slow groove at a time.
Melding the sexy swerve of Lovers Rock reggae with the personal silk of modern soul and R&B, NESTA quickly dissolves the wall between audience and artist unions created only by the most peculiar sound. "Be My Love" is a mood-setter. From the first notes, the song envelops you in a silky cocoon woven from buttery bass lines, breezy harmonies, and muted percussion that never overpowers but makes space for each feeling to breathe.
There's a smoky depth to NESTA's voice that sits at once vulnerable and grounded, bringing to mind the soulful sincerity of Brent Faiyaz, but with an island heartbeat like Chronixx. His voice oozes with unforced confidence, like that of someone speaking from within lived experience, never hurried, never labored, just true.
The sound of "Be My Love" shares an ageless groove. It slinks around like a slow dance in the dark, a cut that works on bedroom playlists just as well as it does on beachside boomboxes. It's already having an effect across borders, hooking listeners from Kingston to London and beyond. The momentum is only building. An eagerly awaited remix with the UK's Wretch 32 drops on August 1st, marking an international collaboration that is sure to see the single soar to even loftier heights.
NESTA is ushering in a new wave of island soul with "Be My Love." One that pays homage to the roots of reggae while stretching the boundaries of what Caribbean-American artistry can sound like in 2025. If this track is any indication of what we can expect, NESTA is on the rise and poised for takeoff.
