In the rhythmic universe of alternative hip-hop, SANITY stands as a beacon of artistry and authenticity. Her latest track, “Black Eye,” offers a profound dive into the Black British experience, uncovering the marks and scars carried, the battles fought, and the indomitable spirit that persists.
“Black Eye” is a tantalizing preview from SANITY’s upcoming album, “Bruises To Blossoms,” set to release on September 29th. The track weaves together funky bass lines, marching percussion, and resonant choruses inspired by the BLM movement. It’s a musical tapestry that not only entertains but also sparks contemplation.
The upcoming release promises even more excitement, with a remix and an official music video featuring rapper Kofi Stone dropping on October 5th. Additionally, a launch party at Birmingham’s Hockley Social Club on September 30th and a series of UK shows with Sofar Sounds are set to follow.
SANITY’s artistic journey is one defined by a fusion of storytelling, hip-hop, and jazz. Her lyricism is sharp, delivering fearless commentary that navigates themes from empowerment to self-reflection. This fearless instinct is coupled with unconventional instrumentals, creating deep soundscapes loaded with energy.
As an artist who graced the stage at the 2018 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Australia, SANITY’s bold authenticity has resonated with audiences worldwide. Her ascent as one of the most exciting voices in the UK scene is a testament to her prowess, evident in her two Birmingham Music Awards wins and her 2020 BBC Introducing West Midlands One to Watch shortlisting.
