12 November 2026 – serpentwithfeet Joins TYGAPAW on puckish and Gives Experimental R&B a Playful New Direction

Acclaimed American avant-R&B vocalist and composer serpentwithfeet has shared puckish, an exhilarating collaboration featuring Jamaican producer and multidisciplinary club artist TYGAPAW. The ninety-second musical lightning bolt marks the second preview of his forthcoming EP, Sentinel, scheduled for release on December 4 through One Little Independent Records.

The new single follows the previously unveiled title track, offering a sparkling and refreshingly mischievous counterweight to serpentwithfeet's usually sprawling, solemn devotional pieces. Co-crafted with TYGAPAW, puckish marries intelligent dance music (IDM) syncopation and shimmering synth textures with serpentwithfeet's fluid, melismatic vocal pyrotechnics.

Lyrically, the artist describes the track as an ode to the seductive, enigmatic qualities that make another human being endlessly fascinating. Throughout his celebrated catalogue—including landmark albums soil, DEACON, GRIP, and GRIP SEQUEL—serpentwithfeet has forged a signature language blending Black gospel choral traditions, queer theatrical intimacy, and electronic experimentalism.

TYGAPAW's innovative production provides an electric bridge between Berlin-style warehouse electronics, dancehall rhythms, and soulful art-pop. The collaboration demonstrates that profound artistic ambition does not require an eight-minute runtime; sometimes a concentrated ninety-second vignette leaves the deepest impression.

Apparently ninety seconds is entirely sufficient to become fascinated with somebody, although attempting to understand them may require several additional albums. Explore more innovative R&B and electronic releases in our R&B / soul and experimental music portals.
