NADEEM DIN-GABISI B HAPPY
Dropping at poignant moment, London-born talent Nadeem Din-Gabisi exposes the absurdity of warmongering on his defiantly upbeat new single 'B Happy'. Sonically wonky, buoyant and light, 'B Happy' feels like a trojan horse of a track, luring you in with its breezy flow and danceable bass groove. Lyrically cutting and matter-of-fact, Din-Gabisi explains: “The chorus for B Happy, was written when musing on politicians' seemingly fervent desire to instigate violence and perhaps a secondary desire to be martyrs for a war that they themselves have started. It explores the idea that they are very much aware of the consequences of their selfish and destructive actions, that they wouldn’t be happy until the fire that they have lit burns everyone and themselves.” Due to appear on his forthcoming LP OFFSHORE, (coming out via Moshi Moshi Records on the 1st of August), 'B Happy' is masterclass in educating, uplifting and getting your message across with nuance. -Holly Mullineaux
