Sampling Imogen Heap’s beloved track “Headlock” the single has exploded in popularity with over 2,000 user-generated videos on TikTok and 20 million views across platforms within just two weeks of release.
It’s also streaming at an impressive 100K daily, further solidifying Shankz as a rising star in the next generation of electronic music.
Even Imogen Heap herself has taken notice, commenting that she “loved the record,” offering a rare co-sign that reflects the song’s wide-reaching impact.
“Too Late” follows the success of Shankz’s debut single, “Stars Align” which captivated early listeners with its atmospheric production and heartfelt tone. Where “Stars Align” introduced fans to his emotive, cinematic sensibility, “Too Late” reveals Shankz’s boldness in reinterpreting iconic material through a modern, cross-genre lens, melding house, electronic, R&B, and afrobeats into something entirely his own.
With a growing online following of over 115K, Shankz is steadily cultivating a global audience. He’s also making waves on the ground, performing high-energy sets across college campuses, where his original music is earning widespread attention and fueling his momentum.
Rooted in a rich blend of cultural and musical influences, Shankz brings a forward-thinking, globally informed perspective to dance music. His ability to create emotionally immersive yet dancefloor-ready tracks is making him one to watch as he continues releasing new music and expanding his reach.
