LISTEN TO AN EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW HERE
2020 WAM Award nominee and seven-time Reverb Nation ‘Featured Artist’ Rootspence releases his model new EP Hey Summer season on November 26, 2022, a celebration of the wealthy musical tradition of Southern Africa and the invention of what challenges, motivates and drives us in the direction of a larger objective.
Rootspence explains, “Throughout a 2021 masterclass with GRAMMY-winning songwriter and producer Vincent Berry II and fellow artists from Southern Africa, I used to be astonished by the unbelievable beats, melodies and lyrics shared by our musical neighborhood. All through my profession, I felt that African music and traditions had not but been absolutely explored, and that the combination of African roots with present genres may very well be an ideal start line for experimental music manufacturing.”
The 5 tracks on Hey Summer season infuse two distinct genres, Reggae and Amapiano, the latter a recent type of home music that emerged in South Africa over the past decade, mixing jazz, lounge and deep home to create a fusion of kinds that reverberates with power and soul.
From the primary beats of opening monitor ‘Ubuntu’, Rootspence’s sense of pleasure on the world is clear. The lyrics and title mirror the knowledge of ‘ubuntu’, an historic African philosophy that means humanity in the direction of others — one thing that percolates all through every monitor of the EP.
‘Observe Me’, that includes musician Jhalil Wilson, performs with Reggae rhythms and syncopated drum beats to create a multi-layered, up-tempo monitor with lyrics encouraging the listener to pursue their coronary heart’s want. Slowing the tempo for ‘In These Denims’, the jazz-infused monitor seeks to remind potential lovers of the enduring qualities of a very good man.
‘Conqueror’ — with its shimmering percussion and easy vocal line — takes the listener on a self-affirming religious journey, led by the power of God’s gentle. Closing the EP, ‘Mohamed Aly’ re-emphasizes the significance of displaying kindness and generosity with out anticipating something in return. The track, with its conventional Reggae rhythms and bass groove, was written to commemorate the person who fired the ‘ubuntu’ in Rootspence all through his life.
Born Helio Sixpence in Malawi in 1983, Rootspence found his expertise for music from a younger age, championed by his church and college educators. From his residence in Mozambique, Rootspence is shortly making headway within the music scene together with his unparalleled sound and elegance. Impressed by his personal life experiences, Rootspence creates partaking, dynamic music that seeks to tell and encourage listeners.
Religion and neighborhood show to be robust forces all through Rootspence’s new EP launch, with ‘ubuntu’ ever-present within the music. He says, “For the rest of summer season, my goal is to proceed sharing my love and appreciation for many who observe my journey. ‘Ubuntu’ is the message of collaboration and togetherness I wish to share with individuals all through the upcoming festive season and past. I hope they discover their very own supply of ‘ubuntu’ in my music.”
Hey Summer season is released digitally across all platforms on November 26, 2022
