Perfection! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">The way the chord structure is is trippy, but it\u2019s keeping with the flavour of the whole track, and it is pleasing to the ear for sure. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>This track is co written and co produced by Kwame Kwaten. Kwame is a bit of a legend (A LOT of a legend), a badass keyboard player and a very kind soul. When he sends you music \u2013 you listen! That will never get old. Also co written by BaggE herself and Pete Lyons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">Since launching in 2019, BaggE\u2019s contemporary neo-soul sound has been a much admired voice on the circuit, maintaining a solid presence through a constant flow of releases, self-management and independent production. <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">22 Year old BaggE grew up surrounded by music, particularly influenced by her Congolese heritage and musical family. Inspired by Etta James, Ella Fitzgereld, Jill Scott, Kayne West and Erykah Badu, BaggE is a voice heard across multiple emerging act live sessions and is a name to get familiar with for 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-435x435.jpg 435w, https:\/\/platinummind.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RainPlain350-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh wow.
