As Col3trane, singer and songwriter Cole Basta has made himself known with an emotive but poised take on contemporary R&B in the stylistic realm of Frank Ocean, Jordan Rakei, and Daniel Caesar. Emerging in the late 2010s, he released his 2017 debut mixtape, Tsarina, and its immediate follow-up, BOOT, in 2018. After his third mixtape, Heroine, he focused on singles including 2020's "Pretty," "WTF," and 2022's "Lights Out."
