Our Take
Our Take
Nakhane's latest offering, "Bastard Jargon," is a gloriously shambolic masterpiece that defies categorisation. From the moment the opening track kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Nakhane's haunting vocals float effortlessly over a swirling sea of synth and tribal beats, creating a sound that is both otherworldly and utterly infectious.
Tracks like "New Brighton" and "Interloper" showcase Nakhane's unique ability to marry the ancient with the modern, blending traditional African rhythms with cutting-edge electronic production. The result is a sound that is at once familiar and completely alien, drawing you in and refusing to let go.
But it's not all experimental soundscapes and genre-bending antics. Nakhane also knows how to write a killer pop hook, as evidenced by the impossibly catchy "You Will Not Die" and the infectiously danceable "Presbyteria." This is music that demands to be turned up loud and danced to with reckless abandon.
In a world of cookie-cutter pop stars and manufactured hits, Nakhane stands out as a truly original voice, unafraid to push boundaries and challenge expectations. "Bastard Jargon" is a triumph, a bold statement from an artist who refuses to be boxed in. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen – you won't be disappointed.
