London-based artist Jelani Blackman has returned with his new single “Bubblin”.
Written and recorded in the space of one wavy night home alone during the first lockdown, the Cut&Dry produced banger is a lively cut full of pent-up energy.
The song was recorded in one take and the rawness of the track bleeds through, courtesy of his electrifying vocals over a playful, classical guitar-sampling beat.
Speaking on the single, Jelani said: “I was actually bubbling when I recorded this tune. Was in lockdown and had to record in my studio at home. The next day there was a letter through the door with a noise complaint ‘cos I was on such a wave. That‘s the whole mood of the song for me.”
Kicking off this week off in style, Jelani joined The Gorillaz on stage to perform their forthcoming single. As he gears up for a busy few months, his music can be experienced live at All Points East, Love Saves The Day, Bordmasters, Sound City + more festivals.
