Singles

On the 26th of March BBC Horizons artists Codewalkers will be releasing their new single ‘The Way We Go’. Bringing their energetic fusion of rap and reggae along with electronic influences, the track was written remotely during lockdown. Inspired by the circumstances, ‘The Way We Go’ is a wink and a nod to the many people in the music industry who've given them helpful advice, and reminded them, when it comes down to it, to focus on making music.

The Way We Go

On the 8th of July Codewalkers are back with a new single ‘Preternatural’. Coupling their unique, upbeat fusion of genres with vocalist Seun Babatola’s trademark probing lyrics, ‘Preternatural’ explores themes of choice and sacrifice, asking how far are we willing to go to get what we want and what are we willing to give up in return.

Silver high snorting like it’s rock and stains
Golden hands sticky from the blooded rain. 
Platinum are the rings that bind
Glittering wealth? I’m a leave behind
All the weight threatening - to drown
Everything blocking out - the sound
All of it stressing me, keeping me down
If I’m gonna reach the sky keep my feet on the ground.
Keep it subterranean, GTA-4
Gangsta Albanians, crashing through door.
Stereotypical, everybody judging, 
life is illegal, ain’t nobody budging
Fixing all the rules, like your life is supernatural
Treating us like fools, its on the actual
Facts are alternative, bloodline preservative,
Far right, far left, centrists are purgative.

If you’re wanting to grow, leave the hate that you know,
E ma pu ro the truth, jeje asoro O.
When a be time to let go, better the devil you know, better the devil you know.

Too hungry, dangerous, I
Drink moonlight envious, my
Skin reeks of earth and sweat,
and If the full moon hits I’m gonna lose my bet
I’m lose my mind, and if you ever find me,
Howling you better run and hide see,
Instincts from rage and shame,
Bronze eyes glowing in the sunlight flame.
I’m living this life like a virtual game
And if you see me glitching, glitching, shame
Call me the utopian, deadlier than plutonium,
Quick with all that boasting coming out urianium
Stay in your aquarium, live in your vivarium, 
So cold-blooded i embody a solarium
Joking, my cranium is bigger than a studium
Ego so much bigger than the living planetarium.

If you’re wanting to grow, leave the hate that you know,
E ma pu ro the truth, jeje asoro O.
When a be time to let go, better the devil you know, better the devil you know.

Like a wendigo, we running through the snow,
Carnivorous we feeding chivalry with glow
Should a listened close, should a never made the deal, but
Better the devil you know

I’m reeling my fate is sealing,
Golden handcuffs from the pain that Im dealing
Never one to be tied to the truth, now

Take it to the end, take consequences.
Crypto inscripting soul bound sequences
Playing games at the crossroad pyre
better the devil you know,

So I’m stealing the seconds i got left,
Failed my family so they won’t be bereft
Guitar in my hand as I’m facing the fire
better the devil you know.

GEIRIAU 

ffoi dros y ffin, ewfforia, heb warchae dwi’n afon sy’n llifo, crafangau concrit iwtopia, does dim ar y blaned all fy mrifo. // ond dwi ddim yn cofio dim ddwedaist ti, a ddaw y geiriau nôl ata i? ond dwi ddim yn cofio dim ddwedaist ti, a ddaw'r geiriau nôl ata i? // braf cael haf nôl yng nghaerdydd, gwres y gaeaf gawn ni orffwys? // ond dwi ddim yn cofio dim ddwedaist ti, a ddaw'r geiriau nôl ata i? // daw y geiriau nôl. 


WORDS 

beyond the boundaries, euphoria, a river in full flow of freedom, the concrete claws of utopia, I’m gone, nothing else could convince them. // you talk but I don’t hear a word you say, I’m sure they’ll come to me again some day, you talk but I don’t hear a word you say, I’m sure they’ll come to me again some day. // today it rains a different river, sounds are certain like the morning. // you talk but I don’t hear a word you say, I’m sure they’ll come to me again some day. // words I hear you now.

Morning, it's only me.  Can I wake you? 
'Cos I couldn't sleep. I know usually 
I'm dead to the world, this feeling's burning, 
It wants to come alive.

So we take off and shake off the blues
And it's these times that you realise were fools
You get on it from start to the end 
Let's not pretend that you're gunna come out alright.

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

Sunshine, that's what we hoped 
But in Hamburg, it was worse than home 
Yeah, but fuck it, it cost forty quid and
I won't lose a wink we'll be in the pit tonight.

You want nine lives, 'cos that's what you need 
Or a coffee to counter the sleep that your lacking, 
For better a word, I'm feeling worse 
Than a train wreck home tonight. 

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

Well I'm losing touch trying to keep things up with the team. 
Well I'm losing touch and it's spiralling, spiralling, spiralling down. 
It gets to the point where I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

I can't help the way I feel
I just need this in my life again
(and again, and again, and again) x2

We don't wanna write a love song about it. 
We don't wanna write a love song about you, about you. x2

We don't wanna write a love song. x3

Moving This Way (Danzleikr)

Austin based pop artist Lou Rebecca makes a captivating debut with her stellar self-titled EP. Born and raised in Paris, Lou’s music is delicately delivered in both English and her native French with a natural grace and unmistakable charm. Lou’s approach to songwriting and performance is riveting from start to finish and has been a huge presence in the dense local synth scene for several years. Now her unique brand of electronic pop has officially arrived, polished and teeming with personality.

Lou Rebecca has mastered the art of sophistication in pop music. With a background in piano, guitar and dance, Lou not only writes her own songs and performs many of the instruments on her record, she also takes full control of every aspect of her persona including choreography and directing her own music videos. As her EP ranges from dance anthems to tender ballads, she continues to maintain a sense of genuine aesthetic. Rebecca is well versed in the complex history of pop music and thus has a timeless quality to her work. With her soft and charismatic voice, Lou’s songs are instantly endearing and go beyond the basic tropes of the archetypical pop crooner.

“If You Can” is an intoxicatingly catchy song, revealing Lou’s flirtatious side while flaunting her smooth analog synth work. Lou occupies the point of harmony between accessibility and technique, meticulously designing each piece with a unique emotional and conceptual palate. The first single “Fantôme” is wistful and cinematic, emphasizing dreamy melodies that subconsciously linger and echo long after the initial listen. Rebecca’s self-titled EP insists on multiple revisits, making it a remarkably immersive and compelling introduction to Lou as an artist.

Elegantly announcing her arrival, Lou Rebecca truly explodes onto the radar of the music world. Lou’s EP foreshadows a brilliant future of inspiring music from this budding talent.

Latest single from Cardiff trio Codewalkers. Out November 3rd.  'A warning to the predators - you keep pushing, it's just a matter of time before somebody decides to push back'.
