Jai Bartlett Challenges the Colonial Mindset with New Single 'Colonised'

15 August 2024 - 0 Comments

Up-and-coming artist Jai Bartlett captures this frustration with lines like “My soul’s been colonised / skin’s been sterilised”.

Jai Bartlett introduces his latest single, Colonised, a raw exploration of how western society perpetuates a colonialist mindset and neglects the stories of oppressed peoples. Set for release on Indian Independence Day, August 15, 2024, Bartlett’s new track showcases his ability to collaborate and blend genres, as it features a haunting vocals by local singer Miko Schwenke, and a guitar solo.

Colonised delves into the emotional toll of navigating a world still shaped by colonial history. The song's gritty, emotive production, combined with Jai’s impassioned vocal delivery, makes it both anthemic and deeply personal.

Following a string of consistent releases, Jai Bartlett returns with a clear purpose. Colonised is the last in a series of leading singles before his debut album. This track serves a powerful point into Jai Bartlett’s evolving musical journey, offering a compelling critique of how colonial legacies continue to influence modern society.

Be sure to stream Colonised on all major platforms starting August 15, 2024.
