Joe Xu makes all the right moves / Chess Piece

One is never late. One arrives precisely when one should.

Well, that’s the excuse we’ll use as we share Swedish/Chinese artist Joe Xu single Chess Piece which dropped back in August.

We may be a few months late, but you can still feel the warmth of summer radiating from this dreamy neo-soul single. Joe Xu vocals are warm and appealing with the modern soulful edge of R&B, making this a perfect fit for all soul loving playlists.

Joe Xu is a 20-year old singer/songwriter/producer and began her journey with her debut single ‘Dark Chocolate‘ which landed in May. This sparkling R&B joint is a slow-burning ballad, rich with late-night vibes.

Through determination and hard work, Joe Xu has taught herself production. Who says young people only spend time on their phones?

Joe Xu aims to add her spin on Soul and R&B. From these two samples alone and the prospect of an EP due, Joe Xu is an artist who’s playing all the right moves.
