B Of Briz is easily one of my favourite discoveries since joining the FOTN team 5 years ago. I mean, she gave me “What Will Buffy Do?” making me recall a zero budget tv show from the 1990’s that’s a cult hit.
Anyway, she makes a welcome return to the faves with her track “A Spark In Your Heart”, a song that speaks of fierce loyalty, it’s an alt hip hop love song in her own words, but I think it’s more than that, she’s letting you know what kind of friend she can be, she provides will be a source of comfort and a safe space for you.
Through this lyric, she promises to love and protect, and with this I say she’s the kind of friend you need in your corner.
Music-wise, this song is based around a solid beat, fast paced hi-hats, a quirky baseline, a kick drum – possibly two one pitched up in place of a snare, and an accordion and piano to finish it off.
Fabulous.
It’s funny, Neil and I have mused as to who B Of Briz really is, I like the fact she keeps her identity hidden I even said to her that I thought she could be our local MP or someone highly placed in government which she found amusing. I like the fact that she keeps her identity hidden, it keeps the mystery about her.
She’s probably my next door neighbour.
That would be hilarious.
She’s not though, but she’s a rapper and producer from Bristol, she makes philosophically inclined feminist alternative hip hop.
This track gets my chef’s kiss.
This is from her fabulous EP “Solace” out now.
