FODÉ Shares New Single ‘Dead Poets’
The English-American trio FODÉ, which consists of James Clark on drums, Ollie Norris on bass, and Fodé Busia on vocals and guitar, first appeared in the thriving London music scene two years ago. The band used humorous parodies of popular artists’ styles on TikTok to reach viral success with their satirical songs. Taking advantage of this momentum, FODÉ exhibits a sound that defies genres as they skillfully combine their original songs with parodies.
A memorable musical synergy is created by the individual flairs of each member, including Ollie Norris’s rhythmic bass, James Clark’s powerful drumming, and Fodé Busia’s soulful vocals and guitar. As FODÉ keeps lighting up London’s stages, their shows showcase their mastery of music as well as their unmatched ability to engage the audience. As their journey continues, FODÉ will be a force to be reckoned with, redefining innovation in today’s music scene with a unique blend of sarcasm, inventiveness, and musical prowess.
They have just dropped their latest single ‘Dead Poets’, created from the concept of their viral TikTok which was ‘how Frank Ocean sounds to non-fans’ gaining over 4 million views. Due to an output of comments requesting a full version of the song, FODÉ decided to make it their own. The band added more depth flair and energy to the tune. Vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, piano, acoustic guitar, and Rhodes electric piano are all used to produce the energetic and dynamic rock track. They were able to add their touch to the music after a few hours, and they proceeded to reserve Premises Studios in Hackney for the proper recording. It is now prepared for distribution to the thousands of individuals who requested it.
On the song, FODÉ says, “This song started as a joke but we took it seriously and turned it into art.”
‘Dead Poets’ showcases FODÉ’s musical prowess while highlighting their intriguing songwriting and energetic production capabilities. Their artistry shines through their latest release complimenting their entire music discography to date.
FODÉ are paving their way into the music scene with their promising sound. For more updates on them, please visit their social media and streaming platforms.
Songwriters often draw from personal experience, but what makes Just a Daydream stand out is the way AMBER reshapes those experiences through imagination. Instead of presenting events exactly as they happened, she builds scenes that feel colourful, expressive and full of possibility, giving the songs a distinctive identity from the very beginning.
That approach reflects the idea behind the EP’s title. What begins as a passing thought or a hopeful fantasy gradually develops into something more tangible, carrying listeners through romance, longing, disappointment and, ultimately, self-acceptance. The songs remain connected by that thread, making the EP feel like one continuous conversation rather than a collection of separate ideas.
Musically, AMBER blends soul, jazz, funk and pop touches without allowing any one influence to dominate. The lively pulse of “Say What” explores the confusion that can grow from crossed wires, while “Aromatherapy” offers a gentler close, bringing the emotional journey to a place of calm reflection.
Working with producer Kipper Eldridge, AMBER has created a debut that places storytelling at its heart. Every musical choice supports the atmosphere of the songs, allowing the lyrics and performances to take centre stage. Out now through Now Listen, Just a Daydream is more than a collection of well-made tracks. It is an invitation into a creative world where imagination gives everyday emotions a fresh perspective and where even the smallest moments have a story worth telling.
