New music Friday… check out this new collaboration from poetic activist & producer Christian Foley with collectivist Emcee Isaac B. This single is crowned PRIMROSE HILL
PRIMROSE HILL is an ode to the good times with special people, inspired by the joys of nonchalant park jams throughout the years of difficulty, a toast to finding a way to keep on keeping on. Foley’s ethereal production bounces through the track, euphoric, hazy and dreamlike all at once. Pitched vocal samples merge with wavy Rhodes chords and the gritty kick of old-school Hip-Hop drums. This provides the perfect palette for Isaac B to paint with…
Isaac B drops into the track with a cascade of emotion, referencing the feeling of time standing still & making himself proud against all odds. The triumph, the light at the end of the tunnel — floating in what the duo claim a ‘Nimbus Cloud’ — inspired by the views from Primrose Hill as well as Dragon Ball Z. The melodic flows harmonize with Foley’s production creating somewhat as an uplifting chant. As the pads glide B states ‘The smallest light can illuminate us” — A song of hope.
Christian Foley is multifaceted, a wordsmith and a producer, his improvised musical performances have garnered over twenty million views, as well as endorsements from 50 Cent, John Legend, Akala and Lin Manuel Miranda. His unique approach to music is currently the focus of a BBC 1 show Extraordinary Portraits.
Isaac B is a frontrunner of collectives on the southside London, a community man — engineer & poet. Collaborating with the likes of Bea Kadri (Dubai), Jester Society (Italy) Toya Delazy (South Africa) as well as opening for the likes of Too Many Ts & Goldie Lookin Chain. The freestyle fanatic warming up for the launch of his EP.
