South London artist <a href="/tags/taylor-bleu">Taylor Bleu</a> announces his debut EP ‘Crayon Scars’, arriving on 25 September, and shares ‘This Staircase’. The song is devoted to the staircase where Bleu spent much of his childhood writing music, calming himself and finding a private space free from judgement. Turning domestic architecture into a love song could easily become unusual real-estate advertising, but Bleu makes the setting feel deeply personal.
The staircase represents stability during an upbringing in which music offered escape long before it resembled a possible career. Earlier tracks ‘Mad House’ and ‘City of Angels’ will also appear on the EP, exploring mental health, systemic neglect, faith and compassion through alternative R&B and cinematic production. ‘Crayon Scars’ suggests childhood marks that remain visible without defining the whole picture. Some artists begin in glamorous studios. Others begin several steps above the hallway. Browse more R&B and soul coverage in our <a href="/genres/hip-hop">R&B & Hip-Hop</a> section.
