Rising R&B star Summer Banton makes her mark with the release of her highly anticipated new EP Symptoms of Me. Recently named a BBC 1Xtra Step Up artist, the South East London singer-songwriter has been building momentum with singles like Invisible Ink and the playful, football-inspired anthem Keeper.
The five-track project showcases Summer’s fusion of 90s-inspired R&B, soulful vocals, and modern production, with themes of love, empowerment, and self-expression running throughout. The focus track Class A delivers pure attitude and confidence, teaming Summer with Javan and Cassius Banton over Kent’s sleek production. Meanwhile, Invisible Ink explores the pain of hidden love, Keeper celebrates romance with charm and bounce, and Work closes the EP with a powerful mix of vulnerability and flirtation.
Rooted in a legacy that traces back to her family ties with reggae legend Maxi Priest, Summer blends influences from Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, and Lauryn Hill to carve her own lane in contemporary R&B. With Symptoms of Me, she steps into a pivotal new era—confident, versatile, and unapologetically herself.
