Evann McIntosh mixes dark alt-pop and dreamy R&B with streaks of hip-hop, jazz, and funk, calling to mind everything from Prince to Billie Eilish as it grapples with growth and evolution, gender identity and sexuality, freedom and self-expression. Their writing is as insightful as it is unpredictable, alternating between earnest poeticism and playful acrobatics, and the production is similarly adventurous, wrapping their performances in lush, magnetic arrangements. Even at its most densely layered, the music remains a work of pure intimacy, a poignant and revealing portrait of a young artist unraveling the mysteries of their psyche one song at a time.

Their acclaimed EP MOJO racked up more than 60 million streams, driven in part by the viral TikTok success of lead single “What Dreams Are Made Of.” Ones To Watch hailed the music’s “self-awareness and vulnerability,” WWD praised McIntosh’s “maturity and vision,” and Vogue HK declared they were “ready to conquer the world.” Their sophomore album Fantasy Fuel (2026) is a collaborative, rhythm-forward, and emotionally exposed record centered on desire, projection, and miscommunication, with contributions from Meshell Ndegeocello and Madison Cunningham.
