RM47 at Speakeasy Kabaret

Mar 13, 2025

9:10pm – 9:25pm CT

Speakeasy Kabaret

Los Angeles-based duo RM47—the magnetic fusion of MAAD and Raleigh—is reshaping the future of alternative R&B. Since emerging in 2020 with their hypnotic debut “Needed U,” they’ve carved out a world entirely their own, blending raw emotion with futuristic production. Their album, Stuck With You But I Like It, fuses soulful vocals, gritty synths, and pulse-pounding rhythms, earning love from i-D Magazine, BBC Radio, KCRW, Netflix, Hulu, and Timbaland’s ‘New Music Fridays’ TikTok show.

In 2024, they dropped "Gimme Dat," "Buss It," and "LE FIX," setting the stage for something bigger. Then, in 2025, they graced the cover of SoundCloud’s “Today’s Top Pop”—igniting a wildfire of new listeners. Now, with their explosive single "FYF" leading into a highly anticipated EP, they’re preparing for their boldest chapter yet: a debut performance at Coachella 2025.

With back-to-back bangers, cinematic visuals, exclusive drops, and immersive fan experiences on the horizon, RM47 isn’t just rising—they’re transcending.
