Rising R&B Star MK xyz Drops New EP “Sweet Spot”

After being discovered by Tricky Stewart, amassing nearly 10 million total streams, and garnering praise from Bustle, Wonderland Magazine, FLAUNT, and more, Florida-born triple-threat, R&B singer, songwriter and dancer, MK xyz, uncovers her highly-anticipated debut EP entitled Sweet Spot. It showcases all her talents and makes an unapologetic statement from MK xyz as an artist who is here to stay.

She celebrates the arrival of the six-track project with the music video for the new single, One Time,  directed by Madeline Kate Kann. The Hitmaka produced track has an accompanying visual full of throwback vibes between its scenes of skateboarding in the rain, showstopping dance routines, and fly nineties fashion. Meanwhile, she flexes her impressive range over skittering 808s just as the hypnotic hook takes hold and the energy heats up.

About her Sweet Spot EP, MK xyz said, “The XYZ is the Sweet Spot. No labels, no expectations, where we say FUCK the rules. A sexy, yet sweet balance of any and everything.” 

EP opener, Dennis Rodman, formally introduces the 22-year-old as she delivers sharp verses and dunks on the clever hook about dating and rebounds. She leans into bass on Air It Out with flirty fire, while GEAUX seesaws between a thick bounce and a propulsive chorus. Check out the full tracklisting below.

Making headlines and expanding her influence, MK xyz also starred in the new Beyoncé x Adidas #ImpossibleIsNothing campaign spot. Check it out here. MK xyz hits the Sweet Spot in 2021.

Dubbed by Wonderland as a rising R&B star “for her fierce lyricism and captivating dancing ability,” MK xyz is undoubtedly an artist to watch. After releasing her debut single, Pass It, with artist, G-Eazy, this past July, MK xyz has received critical acclaim from outlets such as WonderlandFlauntBustleLyrical Lemonade and more. MK xyz initially caught the attention of producer and songwriter Tricky Stewart after posting videos of herself covering songs like the Smokey Robinson’s Cruisin’ and Daniel Caesar and H.E.R.’s Best Part in 2017. Now signed by RZ3 Recordings, the singer and dancer is poised for a breakout year in 2021.
