The artist known as CITIZEN (not to be confused with Citizen the band) remains shrouded in mystery despite the singer’s active social media presence, where he shares his process and inspirations behind his songs. The handful he’s released since 2022, on which he sings in a wispy falsetto and occasionally raps, sit comfortably alongside the sexy funk of Steve Lacy or Tommy Richman. “You Haunt Me,” a nod to the retro-futuristic R&B of the 2000s, led to his Shazam debut on the India charts in September.
