Music News - Phodiso: 'Talk Too Much' out now, EP in May
23 April 2021 - 0 Comments
Talk Too Much is the first single from Act II, the second EP from Botswana-born, Auckland-based hip-hop artist Phodiso. The energetic track is the emcee’s response to critics of his confidence and his defense of his right to do the most.
Following the release of teaser track Usain in
March, the tune sets the tone for the artist’s next chapter. No shrinking, no holding back.
Born in Gaborone, Botswana, Phodiso began learning Tswana percussion styles through community song and dance ceremonies. His thought-provoking
lyricism and experimental artistry scratches the itch of contemporary pop, while honoring his Southern Afrikan hip-hop and Afro jazz influences.
Since settling in Aotearoa in 2010, the multi-disciplinary, multilingual artist has developed
his creative approach and shared his gift of language and rhythm in a variety of ways, including as a vocalist and percussionist (New Telepathics, Pan Africana, Black Sunday), writing and performing poetry, and the release of his debut EP Act I.
The lead single from that record, Running Lines put Phodiso on the map, dominating student radio charts for weeks following its release.
Due for release on 28 May, Act II sees
him collaborate with some of the most exciting producers in Aotearoa, including Mueslibeats (BLKCITY, Jodang), Carawei Gao (Venom Dolls, Milky Avenue Studio) and Zaidoon Nasir AKA Who Shot Scott.
It's not often that an
artist surfaces with a truly unique sound and story. Phodiso is here to present a new narrative.
