Rising afro-beat sensation Txrner unveils his highly anticipated album How’s TX, a deeply personal and evocative project that marks a bold evolution in his artistry. Released on the 14th July, this seven-track masterpiece weaves a tapestry of vulnerability, hope, and gratitude, inviting listeners into the heart of an artist who’s unafraid to bare his soul.
How’s TX picks up where Txrner’s 2022 EP Who’s TX left off, trading the brash, unapologetic energy of its predecessor for a reflective and emotionally raw exploration. The journey began with the single How To Feel in 2021, a track that sparked a four-year creative odyssey. Collaborating exclusively with producer Power, Txrner crafts a cohesive emotional thread that runs through the album, from the yearning pleas of What A Life to the gratitude-soaked reflections of Flashbacks. The album captures a hopeful arc, acknowledging struggles while celebrating growth and resilience.
The recording process was as dynamic as the music itself, spanning youth centers, professional studios like No Stars Studio, and even friends’ houses. Verses and melodies evolved organically over the years, reflecting Txrner’s commitment to authenticity and self-discovery. This isn’t just an album; it’s a testament to the power of creative persistence and emotional honesty.
Txrner’s story is one of transformation. From learning piano in school detention to commanding stages across Europe, his journey is as inspiring as his music. His stage name, Txrner, symbolizes his no-retreat ethos, with the “X” replacing the “U” to signify no U-turns. Known for an emotionally rich and melodically driven sound, Txrner blends raw vulnerability with sultry afro-beat rhythms, creating a sonic experience that resonates deeply. His 2023 release of over 20 singles in a single year showcased his relentless drive, earning him an underground following with tracks amassing over 100,000 streams on SoundCloud and YouTube.
With mainstream radio play and endorsements from grime heavyweights like Jammer from BBK and Birmingham’s Mist, Txrner has proven his versatility, moving seamlessly from grime roots to emotionally charged anthems. His proudest moment remains his headline show, a milestone that underscores his growth from detention-bound pianist to a commanding voice in afro-beat.
