Experience Straight Up
Straight Up, the musical project of singer-songwriter Julian Shah-Simpson, emerged from the UK drill scene in 2019, quickly distinguishing itself through a unique blend of introspective lyricism and atmospheric production. Initially gaining traction with singles like "Rush Hour" and "Take A Look," Straight Up’s sound diverges from drill’s more aggressive tendencies, leaning into melancholic melodies and vulnerable storytelling.
His debut mixtape *My North* (2020) cemented his position as a rising artist, showcasing a refined vocal delivery and exploration of themes surrounding identity, relationships, and inner turmoil. This was followed by the critically acclaimed *Colourblind* (2021), further developing his signature style which incorporates elements of R&B and alternative music alongside drill influences.
Straight Up has garnered praise for his distinctive flow and emotionally resonant songwriting, earning features in publications like *Complex* and *NME*. He's collaborated with artists such as Knucks and M Huncho, expanding his reach within the UK music landscape. His recent EP *See You In Heaven* (2023) continues to demonstrate his artistic growth and solidify his place as a compelling voice in contemporary British music.
