whilst we’re still on the subject of a nurturing love, Soul Rich heightens this feeling by painting a scene where a woman loses her child, upon birth after having formed a stillbond, relationship & an an almost intangible love with the unborn baby.

Soul Rich uses cadence, pacing, intonation & intensity to echo the crushing feeling of losing someone that you love… in real time… leaving you undone & unmatched… incomplete as a being

undone + unmatched (feat. Soul Rich)

harmoniously, atlii opens the sermon — singing, with calm as she eases us to a spoken word piece that speaks, heavily on the weight that is grounded in love… almost in total contrast to the harmonies that support this performance.

she compares to a compass — almost alluding to how directionless, the lack of love feels like & goes into emphasise the nurturing nature of love or at least in context…

Saccharine Radio is thrilled to announce the release of its second single, “FOLK TALES, FORK TAILS” as a precursor to their upcoming EP. With elements of alternative jazz, the ensemble continues to push boundaries in the genre.

Following their debut single, “amadlozi”, “FOLK TALES, FORK TAILS” promises to captivate audiences with its intricate melodies and hypnotic rhythms. This track serves as a preview of what's to come on Saccharine Radio’s upcoming EP.

spawning, from the bareback of sampling — the consistent, almost loopy approach comes from a love at first glance…

having taken a taxi on a random workday, [kimetsu.] had found himself shazaming a song playing, one that he would later discover that it was unofficial Charles Webster remix & within these distinct sonics, there was a guitar, almost staring into his soul…

an 8 second soundbite, turned into a frame for a collage of sonic exhibition — a painting that Johnny Wxlf would later on, equally paint with his brush of wit, wordplay & signature cadence.

This song was one of those case where I had no idea what direction this song would go but I knew as soon as i heard the snippet on [kimetsu.]'s WhatsApp status I had to do something on it. This was actually the first song I ever did with [kimetsu.] I think, I might be wrong but i know this was either the first or second. The manner in which [kimetsu.] produces his work is so ancestral sonically and it doesn't take much to get invoked by his music. After the second listen I found myself singing along without even realising and ended up recording the following day. I always find myself trying my best to compliment [kimetsu.]’s music with a meaningful message and bonfire type chants because i understand that what he’s doing musically is an anomaly and its also extremely important. The intention behind this song from my side was honestly just invocation and I'm grateful [kimetsu.] allowed me to express myself freely on this.

we just recorded this and im gonna drop it lmao lyrics below

Hands tied yall cant handle us .
If you got nizi ill do a lil pose ill smile for the camera . Izo and me look scandalous . 
Most of us east anyway , need to arrange , sigh say sees we escape . Jupiter cried you needed it babe . Tears locked up can we just free em today ? Tuck ego away . See sighs like how she let me get away ? cant fall for you baby my feet in the way . Im down im out i scream it away . My throat choke things i needed to say . I needed to say . Idt this is working . How do i say this ? Who do i blame ? Ive changed im a different person . Ill still smile wicha even though im hurting ! I just lost my job but im working ! I z at the sunday service . I look good on the gram but im better in person . Im perfect !







BONGWA, WE MISS YOU !

i was at a friends house, whose roofing is mostly zinc & when it started raining — i pulled my phone out to record the sound of water, caressing the surface of “amazenke”.

this then became the sample which undergoes a lot of timing & sound design to become the first sound you hear within this composition.

once that had served as the foundational sound together with a bongo arrangement that’s in the thirds, i played a harp progression which i went on to layer with a double bass, a sub bass & a hit foley, before introducing an arpeggiated guitar to tie the production altogether.

upon arrangement & having exported the composition, i sent it to LUNGĒLWA as a congratulatory for their Narowbi debut & they sent the song that you’re to immerse yourself in, in a matter of hours — almost a flex of their immeasurable genius.

- [kimetsu.]

When I wrote this song it was me being my most vulnerable and about not recognizing someone l used to be with. It almost felt like betrayal and the only way I could process it was just letting the song cry for me. As reference to Jay Z and how he has a classic joint called a song cry I had to let the song embody that type of pain.

Abandonment is something I often deal with but still haven't yet fully mastered the aftermath that come with it. Although this is not a love song it's love singing through yearning for a deeper understanding into one's experience of heartbreak. It can be from family a friend, a lover but you interpret it how you must [kimetsu.] sent it to me as a celebratory gift after my NarowBi debut and I sent it in within 2-3 hours back because it spoke to me and exactly what I was feeling during that time, an ode to vulnerability.

Not a love song but love singing
Poetry in our wounds
