goldenbloom is back with “HEating”
Goldenbloom’s latest release, “HEating”, not only delivers a powerful post-punk anthem but also holds a unique story behind its title. As the band reveals, the spelling of “HEating” is a clever portmanteau, combining the two words mentioned in the chorus: heating and eating. This creative fusion mirrors the thematic depth of the track itself.
Recorded at Brighton Electric over two intense days, “HEating” showcases goldenbloom’s return to the spotlight with a bang. Collaborating with Tigercub’s lead singer, Jamie Stephen Hall, and Grammy-nominated engineer Robin Schmidt for mastering, the track boasts a sonic punch that demands attention.
The inspiration behind “HEating” stems from the harsh reality faced by many households today. Jordan Walker explains that the song reflects the daunting choices people are forced to make between heating their homes or putting food on the table amidst rising utility prices and the overall cost of living crisis.
“HEating” encapsulates the anger and frustration of those dealing with the relentless pressures of financial instability. goldenbloom’s signature sound, characterized by intense vocals and driving instrumentation, turns the track into a cathartic anthem for the disillusioned.
For fans of post-punk music seeking substance and depth, “HEating” offers an unforgettable listening experience that lingers long after the final chord fades away.

As if dropping a three-pack project filled with bangers was not eye-catching enough, Burgeoning Ghanaian talent NSRB Dray has served another masterpiece with the release of his new single “Eye for Eye.”
Known for singing from raw emotions, NSRB Dray takes it a step further in this new release where he talks about being in a state of despair and self-doubt.
However, there’s no doubt about his intentions on the record. NSRB Dray goes in hard from the first beat drop on the YNT Deezy-produced track.
On “Eye for Eye,” he glides on the boppy instrumentals for two minutes straight, highlighting the world’s abundance of greed, unforgiveness, ego, and pride.
He opens with his version of the famous Mahatma Gandhi saying, “An eye for an Eye leaves the world blind,” before letting his baritone vocals shine through what can pass a “here’s how the world works” pep talk to the listeners.
The record boasts of superior rawness draped around melodious saxophone sounds by Sam Aryee, missing in so many fine-tuned street-preaching jams lately. NSRB Dray’s delivery stands out as the lyrics pierce the ears and hearts of the listeners to nod and note down.
He shared the reason for his choice of lyrics exclusively to Amplify Ghana, stating that his never-give-up spirit pushed him to send a message of hope to his audience.
“Eye for Eye is a music piece written in a state of disrepair and self-doubt. It talks about not giving up and staying well composed in every situation,” he explained.
After dropping “PLAN B” which touched on a similar subject matter, last year, this new release could easily pass as his master plan, but the singer’s unpredictability and versatility means fans can expect different sounds from him.
“Eye for Eye,” is NSRB Dray’s 2025 welcome message. It was mixed by the singer and mastered by talented sound engineer QID Korle.
