BIRTHE Shares New Single ‘Boy Bye’
Hailing from Belgium, BIRTHE is a force to be reckoned with. She is currently channeling her creative energies in an empowering way returning with the release of her latest offering ‘Boy Bye’ ahead of her forthcoming album, slated for release next year.
This mesmerizing track effortlessly combines elements of R&B and pop sounds to transport listeners into a realm of alluring soundscapes showcasing her versatility as a songstress.
The song ‘Boy Bye’ is about infidelity in a relationship and is written from the perspective of the one being cheated on. But this song not only draws attention to the melancholy or other unpleasant feelings that accompany it but rather, it’s an inspiring song about daring to walk away from a circumstance like this and realising your own value.
‘Boy Bye’ brilliantly displays BIRTHE’s irresistible voice, showcasing her amazing and distinctive tone. After the singer was cheated on and recovered from the breakup, she wrote the R&B and pop song. The melody and chorus immediately came to her, and the words followed along with ease. She co-wrote the track with Luis Oscar Santos (OSKI), who also produced the track.
Along with BIRTHE’s captivating vocals that will grab the listener’s attention from the first note, the upbeat track features a production that includes drums, bass, guitar, keys, trumpet, saxophone, alto, and cello. She incorporates wind and string instruments into her music, as well as into her live shows.
On the track, BIRTHE comments, “’Boy Bye’ is an empowering song about cheating in a relationship, written from the point of view of the person being cheated on.”
BIRTHE’s music catalog speaks for itself as she prepares for her most important year to date as a musician. She has a strong track record of accomplishments and is expected to have even more success in the music industry in 2024.
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
