Bathtub Swimming Shares New Single ‘Tonight’

Published

on

Hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma, multi-instrumentalist dynamic duo Bathtub Swimming warm listeners with their captivating vocals and wide-ranging sound.

Bathtub Swimming returns with their brand-new single ‘Tonight’. They bring in a bright and rhythmic production combined with introspective and original lyrics to form an eclectic and unique experience inspired by their most admired genres.

‘Tonight’ is infused with dreamy and empowering vibes. The genre-blend of ambient-pop and lounge sounds uses electric piano, drums, synthetic bass, electric guitar, and vocals in the production.

The original plan for the song was to have a slow-moving pace, melancholic keys, and a bass that built anticipation before launching into an evocative romantic scene. The song’s lyrics describe someone waiting for a buddy or a date to arrive for an outing that has been mutually scheduled. The protagonist departs the scene in a self-realizing moment that she is in charge of her night and chooses to enjoy a good night on the town by herself after realising she was stood up. She takes the disappointment of being left behind and turns it into personal strength.

On the song, Bathtub Swimming says, “‘Tonight’ showcases solitary enjoyment and self-empowerment.”

Bathtub Swimming’s musical prowess is on full display in ‘Tonight’, which also highlights the multi-instrumentalist dynamic duo’s rising passion, devotion to artistic progress, and musical talents. Their most recent release, which complements their whole musical record to date, demonstrates their artistry.

Drela and Stonebwoy Deliver a Masterclass in Grit on ‘DEM DEAD’

Published

The Afrobeats scene is evolving rapidly, and “DEM DEAD” by Drela and Stonebwoy might just be its next pivotal moment. The song doesn’t tiptoe into your speakers — it kicks the door open and announces itself with teeth-baring confidence. Drela, still on the ascent, raps like someone who knows his moment has arrived. Every bar is sharp, laced with realness, and aimed like arrows toward his sceptics.

Stonebwoy, a legend in his own right, doesn’t just lend a verse — he elevates the entire track. His voice, full of lived wisdom and unmistakable power, balances Drela’s youthful ferocity with a seasoned calm. Their chemistry is undeniable. You can almost hear the unspoken respect between them, making “DEM DEAD” not just a collaboration, but a cultural handshake between generations and regions.

Sonically, Mix Master Garzy cooks up a storm. The beat is aggressive but polished, with layers of percussive flair and melodic tension that reflect the emotional weight of the track. This isn’t background music — it’s front and center, demanding full attention. The production moves like a soundtrack to a revolution, and Drela and Stonebwoy are its leading voices.

The visual treatment seals the deal. Shot across iconic locations in Lagos and Accra, the music video fuses art and symbolism with street realism. There’s a narrative here — one of struggle, resistance, and ultimate triumph. Both artists appear in their element, delivering not just performance but presence. The shots of unity and resilience speak louder than any lyric.

In a time where feel-good anthems often overshadow songs with true intent, “DEM DEAD” reminds us of the power of message music. It’s a battle hymn for the ambitious, the underdog’s war chant. Drela is clearly not just chasing clout — he’s building legacy. And with Stonebwoy backing him, the world better be ready.
