Introducing a compelling fusion of genres, an explosive collaboration between the unique spiritual consciousness of rapper Souleye, and the fiercely intense new metal weight of We Are PIGS – Ghost Town is a fast-paced and fascinating original track, that manages to feel both nostalgic and unrivalled in originality.
Standing tall for over four minutes of music and performance, there’s a hell of a lot to unpack within the walls of Ghost Town – the opening verse from Souleye is enough to get you hitting replay as you attempt to unravel these reflections and scenes. The bars hit with high-octane pace and presence, the details and ideas as ever blending poetry and personal observation; but in this case reaching darker and more disconcerting depths, as we’re plunged into a distorted cavern of new metal.
Then we reach the track’s hook, a piercing yet catchy outcry that’s boldly memorable, and which resolves this journey to an electrifying peak, before we return for another mind-bending exploration of lyrical mastery from Souleye.
Grammy-featured producer Esjay Jones brings Ghost Town to life, her unmatched knowledge and devotion to rock and metal lets these two worlds collide with seamless precision and power. As such, Ghost Town achieves the rare quality of feeling both authentically underground, and effectively ready to light up the mainstream with its addictive rhythm and impassioned aura.
Souleye and Esjay Jones will also be joining forces later this season, for the first ever SOULEYE FEST – taking place on October 19th at Four-Twenty Bank in Palm Springs. This complimentary event showcases the very best from the art and music realms, as well as a range of plant based medicines. Souleye will also be launching his 13th studio album, Floating in Plasma, that very evening. Not to be missed.
