Jessica Wilde drops ‘Freak Out’ video
Jessica Wilde is a torchbearer for a fresh true bred style of rap, soul & RnB. She bares all with some brutally honest lyrics, melding her sharp-witted lyricism through spoken word/rap alongside her more familiar husky and powerful singing vocals. A native of South London, Wilde’s first critically acclaimed concept albumtoldher story like diary entries from mad parties, addiction, toxic relationships, to self-empowerment, and living sober.
‘Freak Out’, which has been picked up for plays on BBC 6 Music’s New Music Fix and BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists, is the first single of a powerful forthcoming album project from Wilde, which features some of the most insanely talented artists on the rise- Josh Barry (Nile Rodgers / Rudimental), Zoe Kypri (Black Coffee) and James Newman (Writer of Brit award winning song ‘Waiting all night’ by Rudimental’).
‘Freak Out’ is about stepping into your power, following the call of spirit, the healing that comes from dance and moving our bodies – “I just want everyone listening to wanna Freak the f•ck owwwwt!”, says Wilde. Musically, the track sizzles with bass loaded, rhythm inflected dirty alt-Hip hop / pop vibes, with Wilde’s candid and intelligent rap lyrics weaving around infectiously. Produced by Wilde herself, with atmospheric snappy percussion flourishing and quirky vocal samples scattered throughout making a truly unique sound with the distinctive finishing touch of co-production by Tom Maine (WU-LU, Kid Cruise). It’s impossible not to get sucked into Wilde’s lyrical and musical world. So, let your inner freak out and join Wilde on a journey of healing and letting go!
Wilde has recently collaborated with Rudimental, Emeli Sande, Grammy award winner Kizzo and this summer she dropped a vocal feature with the legendary house DJ Todd Terry and Carly Wilford.
Interstellar word-smith Spaceman beams in from somewhere in the cosmos with new single “Think Twice.” Somewhere between vaporwave, the darkly analog synth soundtracks of John Carpenter and abstract boom-bap the off-kilter slap was produced by The Suspect (Allegedly). Spaceman comes with rugged bugged rhymes and enlists fellow lyrical non-conformist Fatboi Sharif for a guest verse.
Speaking on the link-up for this joint, Spaceman relayed “I’ve known Fatboi for a long time. He and his homie (89 the Brainchild) were doing an underground radio show that supported my (then) crew back in the early 2010s. Interestingly enough he didn’t even rap back then. Fatboi makes it known that his style is definitely *not* horrorcore, which I respect, but being the pea-brain I am I still can’t help but associate him with that aesthetic. So, when I was thinking of who could help me sketch out the dark cerebral atmosphere of this record ,his was the name that jumped out.”
Listen to “Think Twice” ft. Fatboi Sharif:
“Think Twice” is part of self-proclaimed “Social Skills” series of singles from Spaceman to drop this year. The title of the series is a nod to the emcee’s willingness to step out of his comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers who he respects (considering Spaceman’s last three projects, which were strictly solo affairs).
The “Social Skills” series kicked off with recent single “Mumblecore” which featured his former Inner City Kids Collective cohorts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal (link below).
