Following the success of his sophomore EP Daisies earlier this year, East-London native Paleblu is back with a brand-new anthem, ‘Want U To Know’. Fusing floor-filling rhythms with bright, indie-infused melodies, this track is a vivid declaration of his genre-defying artistry, poised to further establish him as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging talents.

Ryan Gonsalves, better known as Paleblu, brings a wealth of experience to his craft. The East London-born artist, producer, and DJ first made waves as a rave MC, lighting up iconic venues like Printworks and Fabric. His genre-blurring evolution into a singer-songwriter and producer has turned heads, with his vibrant blend of pop-infused drum & bass drawing support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and Apple Music.

The new single ‘Want U To Know’. opens with breezy guitar riffs and warm, summery melodies, before gradually unraveling into a dynamic blend of cutting breakbeats and lush vocal layers. A masterclass in tension and release, ‘Want U To Know’ builds with creeping sonic climaxes, before exploding into euphoric drops that land at the nexus of jungle, drum & bass, and indie. With an infectious optimism and driving beats, the track radiates love, resilience, and hope—an anthem tailor-made for sunlit dance floors and midnight sets alike.

“This song came at a turning point for me,” Paleblu shares. “I started writing it last October after going through a tough time. My earlier tracks were quite heavy emotionally, but this one marked a shift. I wanted to bring some positivity to the table because I think we could all use a bit more of that.”
