Waterford R&B singer Carrie Baxter has teamed up with Choice Music Prize nominated Irish rapper Jafaris for her new track ‘Satellite’ which the pair performed on RTE’s The Main Stage on Friday night. ‘Satellite’ showcases the smooth vibes you’ve come expect from both artists and was a case of an instant connection between the artists who wrote the track the first time they met in a writing session in March 2022.

“Jafaris and I wrote and recorded the track on Paddy’s Day this year—and no, there was no Guinness involved, surprisingly. Although I was aware of his music, it was our first time meeting and when he sang ‘feel like you’re stringing me along you’re like a cello,’ we just clicked,” Carrie says.

“We wrote the song pretty quickly and it was a cool experience to have both our main producers in the same room working together too so the song is a complete blend of both of our sounds and influences,” Carrie adds.

Speaking of ‘Satellite’ Jafaris states: “Our session was extremely smooth and comfortable, we bounced off each other so well. We ended our session with a bop that I believe people are gonna fall in love with.”
