Fresh off their first solo single ‘cc like that’, the Berlin x London collective return with ‘barry wonder’, a track that sees them step into the spotlight as artists following their success as globally renowned producers.
Born between Berlin and London, musical collective bees & honey continue to build on their genre-fluid catalogue with their latest single, ‘barry wonder’, featuring an anticipated collaboration with afrobeats icon Ruger, boundary-blending artist Daecolm and heralded producer 10.93. Dropping on 17th October, ‘barry wonder’ is set to follow the release of its official music video on 16th October. The slick visual promises to channel the collaborative effort’s true vibrance, filmed in London and features both Ruger and Daecolm.
Defined by a warm and sensual Afrobeats backbone, the collective have layered their signature rich percussion, vibrant textures creating a track that showcases bees & honey’s gift for blending cultures, sounds, and stories.
The single features an abundance of artistic flair and distinctive sounds, from Ruger’s unapologetically authentic persona, 10.93’s multi-instrumentalist expertise alongside Daecolm’s bold and borderless vocals – bees & honey have curated a dream of a link up on this single.
bees & honey are truly border spanning, with roots stretching across Germany, UK, France, Russia, and Jamaica, their artistic output looks to channel the pulse of Berlin’s underground with the soul and rhythm of Africa’s contemporary soundscape.
Before stepping into their own spotlight, the members of bees & honey have shaped global pop and dance music from behind the scenes , producing and writing for Tyla, Ellie Goulding, Craig David, Zara Larsson, Ruger, and Victony; collectively amassing over 6 billion Spotify streams and earning #1 singles across Europe. While their debut single ‘Show Me Love’ with WizTheMc announced their arrival as solo artists, reaching #8 on the Global Billboard Charts and later receiving an official remix from Tyla, solidifying their position as one of the most exciting new collectives redefining new-age sound and culture.
Driven by a mission to cross borders and bend genres, bees & honey are set to continue colliding creatively in a celebration of freedom, community, and rhythm. Their latest sonic triumph on ‘barry wonder’ only marks the beginning of this journey.
