“Sunsets” is about choosing to slow down – putting the brakes on life and love, and realising that clarity often comes when you stop running and let yourself feel.”
Raelle, James Berkeley, Mom Tudie
THE RELEASE
UK singers Raelle and James Berkeley come together with South London producer and multi-instrumentalist Mom Tudie on “Sunsets” – a warm, neo-soul and jazz-infused single, created during Stereofox’s first songwriting camp in London.
Rooted in stillness, reflection, and emotional clarity, and built on gentle grooves, lush harmonies, and organic instrumentation, “Sunsets” feels like a deep breath at the end of a long day.
Inspired by moments of pause and reconnection, “Sunsets” captures the feeling of slowing down after moving too fast for too long. The song reflects on wandering without direction, carrying emotional weight, and finally choosing to stop, listen, and travel lightly – both in love and in life. With its sunset imagery and tender lyricism, the track unfolds like a shared moment: unguarded, intimate, and quietly hopeful.
Raelle’s rich, classically trained vocals bring depth and poetic warmth, while James Berkeley’s signature falsetto and harmonic sensibility add a floating, expressive counterpoint. Anchored by Mom Tudie’s refined, soulful production & smooth horns, “Sunsets” balances elegance and ease – a sound that draws equally from jazz tradition and contemporary soul.
All three artists bring notable pedigrees to the collaboration. Raelle has worked with Collard, FloFilz, edbl, and S.Fidelity, earning a reputation for immersive storytelling and emotive vocal layering. James Berkeley is a prominent figure in the UK jazz and soul scene, from co-writing and touring with Incognito, to selling out Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club (with his ex-band Yakul), and collaborating with Mereba and edbl. Producer Mom Tudie has quickly become a sought-after name, working with artists such as Tia Gordon, Nectar Woode, Quinn Oulton, Kwaku Asante, Eleni Drake, and Loie, known for his ability to fuse jazz experimentalism with warmth, groove, and modern sensibility.
Together, “Sunsets” feels less like a single and more like a shared space – a moment of calm where honesty rises to the surface, and everything unnecessary fades with the light.
