Info for SexyOddRose

It has been a fantastic year for One Acen. He has finally had his breakthrough year which has been rewarded by the quality of music he has been releasing and the growth of his fan base. He gained plenty of reception through his track with Hardy Caprio ‘Unsigned’ which has reached 15 million views. His ability to blend R&B, Grime, Hip-Hop to his sound has grown from strength to strength. His EP ‘Sexy Odd Rose’ has exciting features from CallMeTheKidd, Avelino, Hardy Caprio and WSTRN.

He begins the EP with ‘NewwMachine’; it is full of playful rhythms by One Acen, who brings an impressive swagger to his melodic sound and CallMeTheKidd who delivers a catchy chorus with a skippy flow. Avelino brings his hard-hitting lyrics and edgy flow to the track.

‘Piña Colada Xperience’ is full of light-hearted jubilant sounds as he demonstrates a wide array of energetic melodies. He proclaims his infatuation for a girl, as he represents the girl as a Piña Colada.

One Acen teams up with Hardy Caprio for the track ‘EIO’; the two make nothing but bangers when they make music together. The upbeat, bubbly production complements both artists’ catchy charismatic melodies and clever wordplay. The visuals deliver an enjoyable summer and pure party vibe throughout the video hence why it was so popular and repeatedly played.

‘SIA’ is a lively dynamic track, which has a range of smooth infectious hooks. One Acen discusses the transition to rags to riches in the chorus, “we only had only pence now we skrr in the Benz.” He proclaims how his love looks her best for him.

‘GucciChanel’ he delivers a smooth, catchy tune over an old-school garage production, embracing where UK rap music started. In his chorus, he announces his new purchases of the luxury fashion brands of Gucci and Chanel.

‘Vice Versa’ he links up with WSTRN to give us a vibrant track due to its range of melodies and infectious hooks which WSTRN bring their captivating style with calming verses. In the track, One Acen questioned his girl efforts as he feels, he is doing much more for the girl than what the girl is willing to do for him. He expresses his beliefs that the effort should be mutual in the relationship which many listeners most likely relate to.

One Acen
Chances are the first thing that comes to mind when you think of the name One Acen is the massive “Best Life” collab with Hardy Caprio. That was a runaway success that seemed to come completely out of nowhere, but little do the masses know, One Acen has been honing the formula for success for years now.

Unsurprisingly, it was R&B that played the most significant role in defining his musical tastes. The canonised classics of Nelly, B2K and Destiny’s Child—emanating from his sister’s room—set the tone and gave him all the education he needed when it comes to creating a hit. Taking the lessons learned in his formative years and applying them to the Afro-influenced R&B and rap of 2019, One Acen has tapped into a guaranteed recipe for success. Of course, it helps that chart-topping hooks seem to come so naturally to him. His latest single, “Xpensive Habits”, is essentially the signature One Acen tune: slick melodies, vibrant production and an instantly likeable charm.

With a string of hits with frequent collaborator Hardy Caprio (“Rolling”, “EIO”, “Best Life”) under his belt, not to mention team-ups with WSTRN (“Vice Versa”), Tion Wayne (“Sweet Thug”), Yungen (“Miss Diva” and “Pricey”) and Chip (“Your Story”), it’s also a timely reminder that he’s more than capable of knocking it out of the park by himself. On the subject of Hardy Caprio, it was while on tour with the Croydon hitmaker that One Acen first felt the effects of his meteoric rise to the top. Cramped up in a hotel room with three other people, including his DJ and producer, “we had two double beds in a hotel room for the night and the heater was broken and it was freezing; cold as hell, trust me! We actually managed to move rooms, but the heater in the second room was broken as well so we just had to firm it.” Two days later and “Vice Versa” dropped—and he’s never looked back.

In spite of the astonishing success he’s had in the past couple of years, the rapper-singer says he’s managing to remain grounded and acutely aware of how quickly it can all disappear. In fact, he cites “just having a career in general” as his biggest achievement so far and that “anything else that comes after is a bonus.” If he can maintain both his humility and his instinct for a hit, then One Acen will have a long and fruitful career ahead of him.
