VanJess Announces the Silk Canvas Tour
By: Kaitlin Milligan
VanJess has announced the Silk Canvas Tour. For tour dates and ticket information HERE. (check full tour dates below)
The duo will kick off the Silk Canvas Tour in Oakland on March 12 at The New Parish and will wrap in London on April 1. The mini-tour will support the group's universally acclaimed full-length debut, Silk Canvas, out now.
VanJess recently released a maxi-single for their Silk Canvas single "Addicted." The EP features Addicted 2 ft. Bas and Addicted KRs Dancehall Remix.
Raised between Nigeria and California, the sisters comprising VanJess instinctually incite an inimitable style. Nodding to the nineties and turn-of-the-century hip-hop and R&B that soundtracked their formative years, the girls have transformed into a phenomenon since arriving with a string of viral covers. 2018's "Easy" [feat. Berhana & Leikeli47] racked up over 849K Spotify streams in under six weeks as OkayPlayer fittingly described it as "smoothed-out," and Notion predicted it will "be the sleeper hit of the summer." Averaging nearly 300k monthly listeners on Spotify, "Through Enough" [feat. GoldLink] crossed the 1-million-mark with "Touch the Floor" [feat. Masego] following. However, their debut perfects that style and primes it to pop off.
