British singer Basheba gives a taste of what to expect off her Sessions EP with her new single “Dirty Love.”
The Sessions EP is stripped back with smooth sounding acoustics, thanks to the accompaniment of cello and keys. Following on from her bassy and energetic single “High ‘N’ Dry,” this project tells a different tale about Basheba, whose productions usually sit well within UK Garage and Drum & Bass. What makes the transition more apparent is that the Sessions EP includes a down-tempo, more atmospheric rendition of “High ‘N’ Dry.” As such, the project greatly emphasises Basheba’s soulful range as the focal point, especially in the track “Hold On.”
The narrative in each song is what drives Basheba’s creativity. In her own words, “A song is nothing without a story. I’m a storyteller, I just tell my stories through song.” Her passion has grabbed attention from the likes of Rudimental and award-winning songwriter Blair Mackichan.
