Tayhmie Black’s 'Mostly Cloudy' is a bold statement in modern Afro House

Tayhmie Black makes a striking debut with her new double-track project Mostly Cloudy.

The UK-based producer and mixing engineer dives deep into the textures of Afro House, delivering a sound that is both grounded and ambitious

Across the two tracks Cloudy and Turn On The Light (featuring Ade James), Tayhmie carves out her sonic lane, embracing nuance over noise, and progression over predictability.

Opening with a moody soundscape, Cloudy is built on hushed percussive layers and atmospheric synths that float like smoke.

The track doesn’t rush. Tayhmie lets the beat simmer, her production style pulling more from patience than punch.

The bassline rolls underneath like a warning, while delicate melodic details ripple across the surface.

It’s the kind of track that rewards stillness. You don’t just dance to Cloudy, you listen to it. And that’s the difference.

The second track introduces a shift in tone. Turn On The Light still sits in Tayhmie’s Afro House pocket but brings in more emotional brightness thanks in part to Ade James’ soulful vocal performance.

His delivery floats above Tayhmie’s tightly controlled percussion, which stays crisp without ever feeling aggressive.

Co-produced by Tayhmie, the track blends organic warmth with modern polish. You can hear her influence in the balance, every sonic element has space to breathe. It’s clean, it’s layered, and it’s not afraid of silence.

What sets Mostly Cloudy apart isn’t just the technical finesse; it’s the restraint. Tayhmie resists the usual big-room drop formula and instead leans into groove and mood. There’s no filler.

Every sound has a purpose. And as both a producer and mixing engineer, she’s clearly in command of the full sonic picture.

That dual role, creating the music and sculpting its final texture, gives Tayhmie an edge. Her hands-on approach results in a tight, consistent sound that still feels emotionally open.

Tayhmie Black is not just making Afro House, she’s refining it.

With Mostly Cloudy, she adds her signature to a genre already in bloom. Subtle, well-structured, and boldly underplayed, this is music that understands the power of simplicity.
