Nigerian-born and Brussels-based artist Wayne Snow makes a powerful return with his long-awaited third album, Snowdome, out now via Curators.

If you’re new to Wayne Snow, his music radiates a soulful warmth that’s both timeless and forward thinking. Drawing from the sun drenched sounds of his Nigerian roots and blending them with neo soul, alternative pop, soultronica and jazz, his sonic palette is rich, vibrant and unmistakably his own. Influences like Sade, King Sunny Ade, Marvin Gaye, and Fela Kuti echo throughout his work alongside a deep reverence for Afrofuturism-a philosophy that fuels his artistic mission to reimagine sound and envision new futures. Like Sun Ra before him, Wayne isn’t just making music-he’s expanding consciousness.

Wayne's new Snowdome album is a masterstroke of emotional depth and genre-bending innovation. It distills ten years of creative exploration into a bold, immersive statement. Building on the luminous energy of his acclaimed single Fearless-an anthem of self-possession and inner strength, the album dives into themes of vulnerability, identity and imagination. Across ten tracks, Wayne fuses experimental soul, skeletal pop and left-field electronics to create a soundscape that’s both intimate and otherworldly.

This is Wayne Snow at his most visionary, bridging heritage and futurism, rhythm and reflection, in a way that feels both personal and universal.

Snowdome follows Wayne's summer collaboration with Amsterdam’s genre-defying house duo ANOTR and 3DDY on Hold On, Let Go, spotlighted by Sian Eleri and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1 and championed across club and festival circuits by Keinemusik, Jamie Jones, and Paul Woolford. Within its first week, the track surpassed 3 million streams! Marking another milestone in Wayne's ever-growing global reach.

With over 1.6 million monthly listeners and a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking voices in modern soul and electronic music, Wayne Snow continues to shape the future of sound. His work has been celebrated by The London Standard, VICE, Crack, NME, Notion, Clash, BBC Radio 1 & 6 Music, NPR Music, Resident Advisor, The Line of Best Fit, Vogue, MOJO, The FADER, Boiler Room, XLR8R, Afropunk and now Scene Magazine too hehehe, among many others. From his breakout LP Figurine to the gold-certified success of Equilibrium, Wayne has forged a career defined by integrity, emotion and innovation.

With Snowdome, he sharpens that vision into its purest form yet. It’s a cinematic, soul-steeped body of work that captures the multiplicity of the modern self.

Wayne has launched the pre-order for a limited edition Snowdome vinyl only 200 copies are available worldwide, each including a hand signed poster. Exclusive bundles with a black or white tee are also on offer via Diggers Factory. Wayne is bringing Snowdome to stages across Europe, Asia and beyond this year as I'm typing this, offering a rare chance to experience the emotional architecture of the record live.

Long praised for the electricity and presence of his performances, SNOW’s live show is where his artistry takes full form. Wayne will also be joining the legendary Jazzanova on select European and international dates. Wayne is performing in Bratislava, Slovakia (with Jazzanova) tonight so if you're in Slovakia right now and reading this and got no plans tonight, wow you're in the right place at the right time!
