Afrobeat’s iconic ZIGGY BLK joins forces with Michael Rubber, for the intoxicating production and smooth to catchy vocal peaks of the brand new single Sapa.
Balancing cinematic fragments of change with easy-going vocals in the build-up to a passionate and unavoidably catchy hook, the fluidity and freedom of Sapa is what gives it such an addictive groove. All the while, ZIGGY BLK takes on the topic of being down in the dirt, with the Nigerian slang term Sapa reflecting on being broke and struggling to make ends meet.
The topic is universally relatable, and is accessed in a refreshingly pure and real manner. Far from the simplicity of flashy cars and fake personas, as is often found in the mainstream music realm of late. The realism and heart found in this and much of ZIGGY BLK’s repertoire offers a sense of possibility and resilience that’s inspiring.
Good vibes meet with raw emotional honesty and uniquely expressive, genuine vocals, as the Manchester-based ZIGGY BLK effectively intertwines cultures and genres, for the bass-led brilliance and unignorable earworm of Sapa.
