KEYAH/BLU TIL BLISS

South East London native KEYAH/BLU is back with another smashing single, spotlighting her competence as an individual artist, in contrast to her collaborative work with her unique brand of experimental hip hop. The new single 'Til Bliss' has been released alongside a music video that feels like a trailer for a modern coming of age. The video shows Keyah, with her iconic, individual style and bright red hair having a lark around London with her friends, displaying the carefree nature of how it feels to grow up in London and also the love and friendship that you gain from a city-born group identity. The song is laid back, with electronic drums and layered vocal samples, fleshing out the electronic back drop for her serene vocals to lay across. Keyah's melodic, rhythmic flow is supple and layered with harmony. The song is sentimental and feels conclusive of some kind of emotion that has been lifted from darkness into optimism as she affirms "I look in the mirror, I feel a bit better when I celebrate myself". -Ellie Rose Davies
