Elmiene – “Useless (Without You)” [Begging Remix] ft. Muni Long

There’s a certain kind of night that only good music can save.
The kind where the road feels endless and the soul needs sound to find direction again. “Useless (Without You)” from Elmiene, featuring Muni Long, belongs to that space, a cinematic R&B moment that lingers between heartbreak and healing.
Fresh off his 2025 mixtape Heat The Streets, Elmiene’s remix with Muni Long blends two voices carved from emotion and experience. Her presence adds velvet tension to his smoky, neo-soul cadence, giving the track a late-night electricity. It’s not just a remix, it’s a conversation between two artists fluent in vulnerability.
Elmiene, the British-Sudanese artist from Oxford, has quickly become one of the UK’s most compelling new soul storytellers. From viral COLORS performances to his acclaimed Tiny Desk Concert, he channels a timeless lineage, drawing from D’Angelo, Craig David, and Stevie Wonder, yet builds his own lane of modern, cinematic R&B. Every verse sounds like it’s lived in; every chorus feels like it was written in the middle of a memory.
In Useless (Without You), that emotional fluency takes center stage. It’s a record for night drives, for reflections, for anyone who knows the weight of missing someone who once felt like home. This isn’t background music; it’s headlights-on-empty-highway music. The kind of track that turns silence into therapy.

Feels like the kind of night that needs a drive. Nothing cure’s the soul like a night drive and good music.
