KESHI RELEASES NEW SONG
“WANTCHU
(August 8, 2025) In the midst of his headline tour, playing iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden in NYC and Kia Forum in Los Angeles, acclaimed Houston-born singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, keshi, has released a brand-new track, “WANTCHU” out now via Island Records.
Listen HERE.
"'Wantchu' was originally an exercise in engineering that ended up becoming a full-fledged song with the help of Porter Robinson, Boylife, Nick Velez, and Daniel Chae,” keshi says. “It’s the first record to come out of a new home studio that'll serve as the nest for my music moving forward. It signals a return to the full hands-on production style that I love so much and serves as a proof of concept for the next record."
The track follows keshi’s sophomore album, Requiem, which was released last year. The album was praised for its ever-evolving emotional and sonic spectrum, which encompasses everything from luminous alternative pop and dance-floor-ready energy to pensive country and indie eclecticism. Simultaneously, keshi’s lyrics cut deep, pondering life, death, love, and everything in between. At the helm of his vision, he not only sang these words with palpable emotion, but he also handled bass, guitar, piano, and viola.
In recent years, keshi has become a streaming force, racking up billions of streams
across his trilogy of EPs and debut album, GABRIEL, released in 2022 and 2024’s Requiem. The strength of his catalog has allowed keshi to tour the world repeatedly, selling out shows globally and continually elevating his live productions and performances. Additionally, he was dressed by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent during Paris Fashion Week this past June, marking a standout moment of elevated style and global recognition.
ABOUT keshi:
Born Casey Luong and raised in Sugar Land, Texas, keshi has built a massive career almost entirely on the strength of his innate ability to render emotional vulnerability through song. Since 2017, he’s released a trilogy of EPs and a breakthrough debut album GABRIEL — which crossed over 3 billion streams alone — weaving the rhythms and melodies of pop, R&B, lo-fi, and hip hop into barefaced confessions about love, loneliness, and loss. After a whirlwind two years of straight touring the world, keshi landed back in Texas, in need of something different: time and space, the freedom to work on music unbothered by the hectic chaos of live shows and promotion, and a home studio in which he could create a sophomore album that encompassed all he had learned and lived. Requiem is the culmination of a career on the brink of blockbuster success, arena-sized shows, and a powerful personal evolution. GABRIEL led to two, back-to-back headlining North American tours, one world tour, and one tour in China, showing his exponential growth from selling out small-cap venues to two nights at both Radio City Music Hall and The Greek Theatre. GABRIEL also reached #4 on Billboard, which became the highest charting debut album from a new artist in 2022, and the singles, including “LIMBO,” “UNDERSTAND,” and “GET IT,” became viral sensations. Additionally, keshi notably contributed “War With Heaven” to Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: The Album and has collaborated with brands including YSL, Fender, Microsoft, Fendi and more.
