Born in India, raised in Houston, Shreea Kaul sits in the space between late-night honesty and sharp-eyed control. It's soft-edged R&B that doesnât mind getting a little weird.
Her latest single âCrooked Salesmanâ starts out hazy and alluring, then shifts under your feet. Bollywood samples drift in and out, drums hit with the energy of a baile funk bootleg, and her vocal sits right up close - intimate, sure of itself and quietly daring.
She calls her upcoming album âCruel Intentionsâ âa film plot in music formâ, charting a journey from idealism to disillusionment. âAudiences are exposed to a naive protagonist and witness her develop into a darker characterâ, she says.
âCrooked Salesmanâ doesnât fight for your attention, but it holds it. It slips past easy genre lines - a layered track that feels personal, pointed and a bit hard to pin down.
