3x Grammy Award-winner Fantastic Negrito has united with 17x Grammy Award-winning legend Sting for the deeply soulful new single, “Undefeated Eyes,” available now via his own Storefront Records.
Fantastic Negrito’s first release since last year’s acclaimed Grandfather Courage, “Undefeated Eyes” was recorded in 2020, just days before COVID lockdown policies went into effect. The two iconic artists spent the day together in Fantastic Negrito’s West Oakland studio, their distinctive voices perfectly complementing each other as they tell an elegantly gritty yet full-of-life tale of misplaced trust and the sometimes low points of relationships.
Born Xavier Amin Dphrepaulezz, the story of Fantastic Negrito is a testament to the transformative power of music and the importance of resilience.
Fantastic Negrito has confirmed a truly epic international tour schedule, including a shared stage with Sting at Nieuwpoort, Belgium’s upcoming Beach Festival on Friday, July 19. For complete details visit fantasticnegrito.com/tour.
