about

After delivering his latest studio album ‘Your Psyche’s Rainbow Panorama’ near the end of last year, which went on to receive praise from the likes of Giles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, and Huw Stephens, London-based producer and vocalist Tony Njoku looks to keep his dynamic and forward-thinking approach to new music reaching ever higher heights as he announces the details behind his new EP ‘JUSTINE’.

Over the last few years, Tony has never looked to pigeonhole his sound in any way, which has largely led him down dark and haunting tunnels of self-discovery, emerging as one of the most unique and captivating artists working today. His abstract approach to production, coupled with his sweet yet soaring voice, gives him an edge that few can replicate and treating his work as an extensive of his own raw and diverse emotions.

This new release ‘JUSTINE’ features four yet-to-be-released offerings, all of which continue this bold and dynamic direction. Fitting somewhere between the worlds of neo-soul and experimental trip-hop, this new collection has an eclectic and diverse feel threaded throughout. Whether it is the warm and textured atmosphere of the opening track ‘JUSTINE’ or the scattering beats of the EP’s closer ‘</3’, Tony Njoku looks to pack as many elements of his form into each of these new cuts.

Also including the sweeping yet warped track ‘BSD YRSLF’ and wistfully bouncing offering ‘100% 4 BEAUTY’, ‘JUSTINE’ is set to see the artist return in superbly stellar form, delivering yet more of that ever-evolving sound that his fans love and admire him for.

Speaking on the new EP, Tony stated:
“This EP really is just me focusing on writing love songs more than anything. Playing with themes of romance, heart break, self motivation, self introspection etc. I’d say these songs are subtle odes to my constant drive towards self-exploration.
But instead of focusing on the abstract i’ve brought more direct and hopefully relatable themes and musicality.
I feel they’re more straight to the point in intention than previous records. Not watered down but certainly concise.”

‘JUSTINE’ is set to be released on the 19th June 2020 through Silent Kid Records.

lyrics

We don’t have the time to be indifferent.
Tell me what you need so I can fix it.
I hope that you won’t hate me for my ignorance.
Man I feel so guilty for your anguish.

You told me you felt beside yourself.
As dark as it ever was,

As it ever was.

There was no part of me that ever wanted it.
I know that just left you devastated.
You could get through to me cuz I was guarded.
I needed space to process my emotions.

Will we ever learn?

You told me you felt beside yourself.
As dark as it ever was, as it ever was.

I can’t control where I am.
Achlys has broken me down.
So overwhelmed might freak out.
Spinning I’m spiralling down.
Straight to the source of it all.
Visions of me as a child.
Look at the man I’ve become.

UNTITLED (Rise)
by SAULT

supported by 5 fans who also own “BSD YRSLF”

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell

I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES

Each line on this album is delivered with malice, and each word hits like a mace to the skull. Backxwash uses raw aggression to vent frustration and anguish in a way that evokes an anger with the world rather than a pity for her. Luke Warmwater

My favorite albums of 2022, #2. Holy fucking shit - one tar-thick dub line warped and spun for an hour, with a gang of rappers and toasters and vocalists coming in and out of the mix, including Fatboi Sharif, Justin K Broadrick, and Moor Mother. Levrikon
