Promising pop and R&B artist sunkis has just dropped his latest single, “TOUCH” alongside a performance-based visualizer music video. The release of this new single solidifies his growing reputation for creating infectious tracks that blend emotional lyrics and heartfelt vocals with sleek production vibes. This acts as the follow-up to his previous single “CRUSH” which was a collaboration with ASTN and Bren Joy.
Written by Anthony Watts, Brandon Hamlin, Christopher Sung (sunkis), and Jake Fine, whilst it has been co-produced by multi-platinum producer B Ham—who’s worked with names like Megan Thee Stallion, Maroon 5, and Kim Petras—and Brooklyn-based artist Jake Fine, “TOUCH” combines sunkis’ signature smooth vocals with an irresistible rhythm in a pop meet R&B blend. The track delves into themes of love and connection, capturing a universal longing for intimacy that fans are sure to resonate with.
Accompanying the single is an official visualiser, directed by Chiu Pok Kwan, a performance-based video that brings sunkis’ polished energy and stylistic flair to life. We watch as he performs inside a giant transparent box—something we’ve seen in videos time and again but isn’t overdone and is still unique to each video (see Adam Rickett, Billie Eilish, Conor Maynard etc.) and this time is no different. sunkis excels in portraying his emotional desire throughout, effortlessly portraying his need to be with someone both through his exceptional vocals and his expressions. Strong, powerful, and heart-touching, both this song and this video are first-class!
