Birmingham’s own SIPHO. is stepping back into the spotlight with ‘COLD WEATHER’, a menacingly beautiful return that cuts straight through the post Valentine’s haze. Landing on 23rd February, the track sees SIPHO. joined by Nikhil and Ayeisha Raquel, whose voices turn the song into a tense, two way conversation. A striking official video, directed by Callum Barnes, follows on 9th March.

Built with the intensity of a feature film, ‘COLD WEATHER’ thrives on atmosphere. Sleek, stormy production underpins vividly detailed storytelling as SIPHO. explores the unspoken friction of love, the moment where emotion, doubt and desire collide. His vocal performance is commanding and raw, capturing lovers on the brink, locked in a high stakes emotional standoff.

Speaking on the track, SIPHO. describes it as a check in after the romance fades, a question of commitment when the road gets rough and the stakes are highest. It’s love without the rose tint, honest, messy and deeply human.

Since emerging in 2021, SIPHO. has carved out a singular lane, blending soul, R&B, electronic and experimental sounds across acclaimed projects from AND GOD SAID… to his debut album PRAYERS & PARANOIA. With ‘COLD WEATHER’, he once again proves he’s unafraid to look past the surface and sit with the tension underneath, cementing his place as one of the UK’s most compelling songwriters right now.
