The New Soul Honor celebrates a rising artist whose distinctive voice and artistry are helping shape the future of R&amp;B.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Born and raised in Oxford, England, the British Sudanese artist started out as a poet, and his very first attempt at a song set his career in motion. He has since released five critically acclaimed projects, soundtracked a Louis Vuitton show, landed on the BBC\u2019s Sound of 2024 poll and earned Rising Star nominations from both the Brit Awards and the Ivors. Along the way, he has opened for Stevie Wonder and SZA and performed an NPR \u201cTiny Desk\u201d concert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">That momentum built to his debut album, \u2018sounds for someone,\u2019 released this spring on Def Jam Recordings. The 12-track album centers on his relationship with his late father. It features production from Sampha, Raphael Saadiq, No I.D., Ghostnote, Buddy Ross, Andrew Aged and Jeff \u201cGitty\u201d Gitelman, with Baby Rose and Saadiq also lending their voices. The album ranges from the piano-led opener \u201cMoment\u201d to the Prince-tinged \u201cLie With Me,\u201d a range Elmiene sums up simply: \u201cSoul is really all music.\u201d He supported the album with a sold-out headlining tour across North America and Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cElmiene is a gifted songwriter and vocalist whose music is rooted in the soul tradition while speaking directly to a new generation of listeners,\u201d said Connie Orlando, executive vice president of specials, music programming and music strategy at BET. \u201cHis heartfelt lyrics and soaring falsetto have already earned him fans around the world, and he is just getting started. We are thrilled to recognize him with the New Soul Honor and welcome him to the Soul Train Awards stage in Chicago.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Connie Orlando serves as the executive producer of the Soul Train Awards 2026 for BET. Jesse Collins Entertainment is the production company for the show, with Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay also serving as executive producers. The SOUL TRAIN AWARDS is presented by Spotify as the exclusive music streaming partner and Toyota as the exclusive automotive partner.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\"
