Bash Steps Out With Unique Love Record

-

FAST- rising Nigerian singer, Bash, has stepped out with his debut sound piece, a unique soul- stirring love record dubbed, Lustful Preexisten­ce. Within the 7- track album, Bash navigates through several love terrains, with heightened sensual narratives and groovy Afro- Rnb melodies.

Like many love maestros in his generation, Bash brings on a very youthful, energetic momentum to his music, pacing it with succinct mid- tempo grooves, upbeat kicks, and exciting flows.

From the opening track, One Time, Bash offsets a euphoric mood as he tailors his lyricism towards romantic love and physical intimacy with his lover. He continues this sensual adulation with tracks like the chord- heavy RNB- funk fusion, She Bad, peaking with x- rated imagery in tracks such as Good Head,

while bouncing off the sexual tension a bit, with a dose of romantic love expression­s in the song Mami.

The melody on Lustful Preexisten­ce

gives a glimpse into Bash’s vocal superpower, his fluidity, cadence, and overall control with the backing melodies. The album shines for its artsy representa­tion of a very mundane, clichéd subject, reflecting a stellar artiste and repertoire ( A& R) and creative direction.

On the surface, Lustful Preexisten­ce feels like another random sensual playlist, but the storytelli­ng, sonic direction and track listing gives it a rather warming, inviting vibe, boosting its replay value generally.

With Lustful

Preexisten­ce,

Bash steps out with an audacious tempo, an interestin­g intellect and a bohemian ambition. In this record, he puts his best foot forward, planting his own roses one song at a time.
