Richy Forbes (AKA Mr International) is representing the island of Turks & Caicos, Miami and Nigeria, and as a result, his sound is a refreshing blend of Afro, R&B and Hip-Hop.

The two both based in London, UK, have collaborated on a series of songs, most recently R&B throwback “Never”, and hip-hop club banger “Mirror”. Both of these have received good reception at shows and created a level of buzz for the two acts.
Certain songs just have an uncanny ability to transport us back to memorable moments. Whether those memories are loving, painful or lustful, Richy Forbes and So Special Kay tap into people s emotions by creating personal soundtracks to their love lives; for “Never”, Richy Forbes ft SSK, take listeners back to the future.
The album has a very 90s throwback feel to but with a futuristic spin on it. What Richy Forbes is doing, is carve out a lane for himself in this generation of one-hit wonders. The UK resident’s catalog of sultry melodies and passionate anthems is earning him a loyal fan-base as well as industry interest.
“Never” evokes a personal approach to romantic soul balladry with a mixture of multiple vocal and rap responses, rhythmic drum machine and synthesizer orchestration -as well as some cool harmonies. Smooth vocals, lyrics that touch the soul, melodies that make you want to sway with the music. If you like a mixture of R&B and Hiphop music, this is a must have.
Another plus, is that you can understand Richy Forbes. He has a very crisp and sharp delivery, which works well with SSK’s soulful singing style. The two are able to produce rich, well-produced club bangers with both hiphop and soul built right into its core!
