VicJune 13, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) — Today, alt-R&B auteur Nobu Woods releases his new single, “WHITEOUT.” Written, produced, and recorded entirely by the New York native, the sexually charged track is as sonically inventive as it is lyrically direct. Listen HERE and watch the visualizer HERE via Second Estate / Warner Records.
With its glistening atmosphere, eerie chimes, and experimental production, “WHITEOUT” isn’t your typical R&B song. Woods’ aching voice infuses the song with an intense sense of desire as he addresses his lover. He moves fluidly between yearning melodies and an assertive rhythmic delivery as the track picks up darkly lush layers. Nobu says of the track:
”In short, “WHITEOUT” is a club anthem,” says Woods. ”In this song, nothing exists but ‘the now’ and the way the female subject is feeling. All that matters is that two people are together, feeling completely free, and enjoying each other’s company.”
”WHITEOUT” is also Woods’ first new release since dropping his project, the brooding and progressive UNTL EP, an 8-song exploration and expression of the more complex and intimate facets of intense romantic love. UNTL included several never-before-heard songs alongside three singles: the soulful, melancholy “FAULT,” club-ready breakup anthem “SPLIT,” and ice-cold ”SAVIOR.”
Nobu Woods continues to push the boundaries of modern R&B, merging raw emotion with bold sonic experimentation. As he carves out his own lane, this latest release signals an artist unafraid to bare it all—on his own terms.
