NEW MUSIC | 1BADD INGLISH DROPS NEW RELEASE ‘HEARTBROKEN’

Listen Here 

The UK dance­hall scene has a new voice cut­ting through the noise. With the release of HEART­BROKEN, Har­les­den nat­ive 1Badd Ing­lish offers a power­ful and per­son­al chapter in a grow­ing artist­ic jour­ney. The track is more than a single. It is a state­ment of intent from an artist refus­ing to play by the rules.

Released inde­pend­ently through City to Coun­try and Crown­music, HEART­BROKEN blends vul­ner­ab­il­ity with undeni­able style. “It’s all about growth and being true to your­self,” 1Badd Ing­lish says.

“Express­ing your feel­ings and relat­ing to many oth­ers by doing so. Life inspired me, as I’ve been through some things that could break your spir­it and not just your heart.”

The track also serves as the soundtrack to The Change, a film dir­ec­ted by his fath­er, film­maker C a n I Brinks, in which 1Badd Ing­lish stars. The pro­ject is deeply per­son­al, tying music and act­ing togeth­er through a shared nar­rat­ive of trans­form­a­tion. “Again, it just came nat­ur­ally,” he says.

That nat­ur­al feel runs through all of his work. His sound, often described as raw, authen­t­ic, smooth and nos­tal­gic, was nev­er forced or cal­cu­lated. “I just do it,” he explains. “I can’t tell you how, but it’s all nat­ur­al. It comes easy.”

Raised in Har­les­den, North­w­est Lon­don, 1Badd Ing­lish car­ries a deep con­nec­tion to the com­munity that shaped him. “It def­in­itely has influ­enced my whole life,” he says. “With a strong Jamaic­an her­it­age and vibrant energy.” That influ­ence can be felt not only in his sound but also in the HEART­BROKEN visu­als, which were shot on loc­a­tion in Jamaica. “That was the task at hand and it was very import­ant. I trav­elled alone to get it done. That should tell you how import­ant it was.”

His cre­at­ive jour­ney began early. At the age of eight, he was already writ­ing poems, free­styl­ing, and learn­ing drums. That found­a­tion keeps him groun­ded even now. “My life exper­i­ences,” he says when asked what fuels his cre­ativ­ity today.

1Badd Inglish’s abil­ity to move between dif­fer­ent cre­at­ive lanes has brought him into col­lab­or­a­tion with artists like Sylvia Tella, SWN Sounds and Shaker the Baker. “It’s more based on rela­tion­ships and chem­istry,” he says. “I believe I have a good ear for sound, so I go with that meth­od or instruc­tions from peers.”

For him, inde­pend­ence has been essen­tial. Releas­ing HEART­BROKEN without a major label meant full cre­at­ive con­trol. “I do what I feel is right and have cre­at­ive con­trol to bring it to life,” he says.

That con­trol also extends to his long-term goals. His vis­ion is rooted in some­thing deep­er than fame. “MY LEG­ACY. My story,” he says when asked what kind of mark he hopes to leave.

With HEART­BROKEN already turn­ing heads and more work on the way, fans can expect more sur­prises from the ver­sat­ile artist. “Expect a lot,” he says. “I’m very ver­sat­ile and I have a point to prove, which will be proven very soon.”

From the streets of Har­les­den to the hills of Jamaica, 1Badd Ing­lish is build­ing some­thing per­son­al, cine­mat­ic and last­ing. HEART­BROKEN is not the peak. It is the introduction.
