‘I Got You’ by Serena Kern ft McLean is beautiful. The vocals hold a warm tone, the smooth male and female harmonious together. I fall deeper for you every single day. The production is light and easy-going with lovely details of little twinkles and strings. A blissful story of love.

I Got You is the new single by soulful beauty Serena Kern, produced by chart topping urban producer, Ayo Beatz and her long time music collaborator Chris Rockall of Music Matters. I Got You is a smooth soulful, pop, R&B track featuring McLean, one of the UK’s most talented R&B/soul acts. “Chris and Ayo sent me “I Got You” as a musical arrangement and I loved it. When McLean and I wrote to it we realised we had something very special. ANSAH's remix is great and gives the track a real David Guetta type club/ dance vibe so, whether you are looking for something to dance to or chill to, “I Got You”. The single is taken from her forthcoming EP. “Chasing Rainbows”, the title track of the EP of the same name, with an urban soul/R&B/club feel, will be released later this spring.

Serena was born in a small town in southern India called Coonoor. She spent her childhood enjoying the peaceful beauty of the town with its tea plantations and the beautiful green forested land that surrounded it. As an artist, Serena loves to draw on her Indian roots. In 2015 she approached Rishi Rich (Teddy Riley, Jay Sean) who is currently based out in Atlanta. “It happened very fast. I emailed Rishi to see if he would like to work with me and immediately he responded “yes, come over and let’s record”. She remembers. “I flew to Atlanta and recorded 3 tracks in 3 days!” The result was critically acclaimed EP “Dream” which the Asian music scene welcomed with open arms. The title track featured on the BBC Asian Network Official Downloads Charts for several weeks. Serena is now drawing more influence from her life in London, which can be heard in her recent track Drop Top featuring UK hot artist of the moment Ms Banks. Serena works tirelessly to fund her music and her professional life involves running various charities and foundations. Though she may look angelic, Serena is a no-nonsense lawyer who fights for what she believes in. This sense of ambition has been invaluable for her music career and has helped drive her success.
