SABA SYMMETRY

Chicago native Saba has been trailblazing his way to the top the past couple of years. Working his way through 3 full-length releases of his own, along with numerous collabs with Chance the Rapper, and features on cuts from Jamila Woods, Joey Purp and more - Saba has undoubtedly found his feet. Today he enforces the good feeling around his rise, with smooth-as-you-like new single ‘Symmetry’. Glitchy, chopped-up percussion splits and cracks around spacey synth-work and distorted guitar passages, as Saba’s undeniable vocal talents are put on full display. “They say the most beautiful people have symmetrical features, and that that’s what beauty is. I tried to take that concept and expand on it to say that symmetry in life is when everything lines up, things just start to make sense” he explains on the lyrical process behind the track. Things definitely appear to be lining up nicely for Saba, just in time for the release of his new full-length project BucketList - scheduled for release later this year. Dive in below, and remember the name Saba. -JC
