New Jazz Funk and Hip-hop - Part 1

---------------------------------------------------------

Following the success of June’s “Don’t Know I’m Dead Or Not (feat. Chester Watson)” - with press from the likes of Clash, Brooklyn Vegan, Rolling Stone Italy, and radio support from BBC Radio 6 (Artist Spotlight) and Worldwide FM - the Italian-Tunisian wunderkind LNDFK returns to Bastard Jazz with a new single, “How Do We Know We’re Alive (feat. Pink Siifu).” 

Further honing her signature jazz-inflected, ethereal future soul sound, LNDFK’s stacked harmonies float above an arpeggiated synth line and glitchy percussion, before she whispers the song’s first verse. The beat builds to skittering hi-hats and a complex, Thundercat-esque (LNDFK has shared the stage with fellow Brainfeeder artist Kamasi Washington), bass line for the second verse, before LA alt-rap king Pink Siifu takes the helm, delivering fittingly abstract bars, replete with phonetically-dense wordplay. 

LNDFK is a singer and songwriter, born of two cultures – an Italian mother and Arab father. She grew up in Naples, away from her father, the Sahara, her homeland and traditions, which has helped nourish the desire to rediscover – through art – an engagement to her roots. Her music melts with jazz, neo-soul and hip-hop influences, filtered through her experiences and sensibility. 

Her first EP, "Lust Blue," was composed with the artistic production of Dario Bass and released by Feelin' Music; after that she released several singles that saw international radio support (BBC, NTS, Wordwide FM) and gained a massive audience on digital platforms. Together with her band, she toured around Europe sharing the stage with the likes of Kamasi Washington and Mndsgn, among others. Her last appearance on the stage was at the Primavera Sound Festival 2019 in Barcelona. 

“How Do We Know We’re Alive (feat. Pink Siifu)” is out on Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings September 10th, ahead of an anticipated full-length project slated for early next year.

LNDFK - How Do We Know We're Alive (feat. Pink Siifu)

Something So Sweet

Still Dreaming ft. Rara Zulu

lyrics:
Every day and every night I'm laying in my bed
so many things I could do instead
I can't get the thought of you out of my head
is this really how it ends?
Now I don't relate to you anymore
We fell apart cause' you couldn't be solo and I think I need some time on my own
Happier with no one knocking on my door

Every day and every night I waste all of my time
sitting and thinking of how we could be better
gave you all my money and gave you all of my love 
somehow it wasn't enough
Seems like I mean nothing to you but I know we could be so much better
It's easier for now to just pretend that you were never real

Now I don't relate to you anymore
We fell apart cause' you couldn't be solo and I think I need some time on my own
Happier with no one -
I don't relate to you anymore
We fell apart cause' you couldn't be solo and I think I need some time on my own
Happier with no one knocking on my door
