Swedish R&B continues to develop and confirm its status on the global scene. HAPPENS, by LUCIIA and Sabina Ddumba prove why the genre’s future in Sweden is brighter than ever.
From the moment you hit play, it’s clear that ‘HAPPENS‘ is a special track. The production, helmed by London-based producer Maleík Loveridge, is exemplary in retro R&B with a modern twist. Loveridge, known for his work with artists like Jess Glynne, Stormzy, and Dave, brings a polished, yet soulful touch to the track. The beats are crisp, the baseline smooth, and their melodies are emotionally engaging and soulful. Inspired by the 90’s classic sound of Brandy & Monica, the song weaves together nostalgia elements with contemporary flair.
There’s an undeniable synergy between LUCIIA and Sabina Ddumba and their voices, while distinct, blend together in flawless R&B harmony.
LUCIIA, who long admired Sabina, reached out to her during a session with Loveridge, and the timing couldn’t have been better. The collaboration was born out of deep respect and a shared understanding of what it means to be a female artist in today’s world. The result is a song that feels both intimate and universal.
Sabina Ddumba, also known for her soulful voice, described the process as a genuine connection. Sabina’s contribution to ‘HAPPENS’ reminds us why she is one of Sweden’s most respected voices in soul and R&B.
The two fashion icons deliver a stylish R&B result!
