B4TheFall
By
CARPETFACE and JIMI LYONS
Single Review
It may be some time since we last had a release from UK
Emcee, Producer extraordinaire CARPETFACE But, he has been busy with projects
behind the scenes and ‘B4TheFall’ is one of those.
Linking up with veteran reggae artist JIMI LYONS this track
is a blend of styles that will appeal to a great many of you who have a love
for good music.
Bringing a unique sound, which has been described as
‘Soundsystem Soul’, this track utilises some awesome production skills that
CARPETFACE has up his sleeve. Fusing and drawing on a wide range of influences
from Hip Hop and World Music to Reggae, Funk and Soul. Every sound here was
played, dubbed, looped and mixed by hand
with CARPETFACE using a wealth of musical tricks including Live
Instruments, Beatbox, the Roland Handsonic, Akai Synths, Kaoss Pad and more.
All this results in a laid back, fresh sound which has such an infectious vibe
and add to that the silky smooth vocals of JIMI LYONS interspaced with the deep
echoing sound of CARPETFACE and the whole track moulds into the type of vibe
that will keep you bouncing along from the lounge to the garden and on to crank
it up in the car on those hot summer days.
Also, keep in mind the deeper meaning of the lyrics to this
track. Underlying the infectious nature of the track and its appeal to all
ages, this track has deep message rooted in social change, spiritual awakening,
justice and healing with an overall uplifting and positive message or all
society. Something of this nature is extremely important in the current climate
with the world in the grip of a pandemic that is set to trigger change on a
global scale and a greater respect for each other and for the earth on which we
live.
For me these two have created a perfect sound and direction
for the type of conscious music the world is in need of and that shows just as
much in that the whole track, and the accompanying video, was entirely produced
at Headskillz Southwest. This is an off-grid studio, youth support centre and community
hub located in the South West of the UK and it was built using upcycled
materials that were salvaged from industrial waste that was destined to be
taken to landfill. You can’t get more of a positive message than that in todays
society and we need more of these projects as we move into new horizons.
On top of all this all the money raised is going to a good cause as
“100% OF PROFITS GENERATED FROM ALL DIGITAL and MERCH SALES OF THIS RECORD WILL GO TOWARDS FUNDING OUR LATEST YOUTH-SUPPORT PROJECT “HEADSKILLZ UK” DELIVERING A WIDE RANGE OF SUPPORTINITIATIVES STEMMING FROM ENGAGEMENT IN CREATIVE PRACTICE TO DISADVANTAGED YOUNG PEOPLE IN URBAN AND HARD-TO-REACH AREAS ACROSS THE UK OVER 2020, INCLUDING THE PRODUCTION OF OUR MUSIC VIDEOS”

So,
there is a great reason to head over and support this project.
The track is released through “NEWBIAS
Records”, the label-division of “NEWBIAS CIC” - a non-profit,
parent-led, arts-based Community Interest Company founded 2017 with a major
focus on Youth Re-engagement and Eco-friendly Community Regeneration.
