Posted by VMan on August 12, 2022
Hailing from Birmingham, UK soulful singer/songwriter Namywa returns with her new single “Sober” and it’s fantastic. The song has cinematic production and an overall powerful soundscape to the track that reminded me a lot of the late and great Amy Winehouse, who is one of Namywa’s major influences alongside Diana Gorden, Yebba, Paloma Faith, Lauryn Hill, and Jill Scott. The old school vibe on this one is special!

The goal is to connect Coka Cobra in the festival trap space and to celebrate creativity while creating music that doesn’t try to fit in a box or try to be anything but uniquely itself.” – Coka Cobra

“We wanted to go back to a kinda more disco chill vibe for the next single. Instrumentallywe were inspired by the Remix PNAU did for Elton John and Dua Lipa “Cold Heart”. We also were inspired by a fewof Dua Lipa’s pop songs. A lot of the production behind her songs have inflections of disco and funk and we wanted to make a track that was catchyand poppy but with a disco flair.Lyricallythis is a song about walking away from toxic situations, focusing more on yourselfandnot letting anyone kill your vibe. It’s almost like a SELF-HYPE song, to kinda recalibrate yourself. Even when you get into bad situations, you can still startover again. No regrets, just onward and upward.” – Midnight Pool Party

Released on 13th May via Perfect Havoc, London’s chart-topping label, this new release captures an evolution in sound for the label’s talisman as he bridges the gap between commercial and underground.
Following the impressive ‘My Carousel’ featuring renowned dance vocalist Jem Cooke on Selected, Tobtok wastes no time in sharing another slice of his refined sonic palate. ‘Satellite’ effortlessly crosses over into tougher grooves and meatier melodies whilst retaining the chirpier elements of his past productions.
