Best New songGhostpoet — Immigrant Boogie
Posted by LetsLoop on April 19, 2017, 1:35 pm Immigrant Boogie is @Ghostpoet (aka Obaro Ejimiwe)'s first new release since his #MercuryPrize nominated 2013 album, Shedding Skin. It is expected to feature on his much-anticipated 4th album, which is due later this year.Here's what Obaro had to say about his new single:
"It’s a first person account of a difficult journey across borders, partly intended to ask those who have questioned the arrival of refugees in recent times what they would do in the same situation.
The song is written in two halves - the first hopeful for a brighter future, while the second sees hope snatched away by forces beyond the control of the storyteller.
There is an important story to be told there, but I wrote the song in a way that aims to capture a broader human truth: that while we are all working for a better life for ourselves, we have to accept that we are not in control of the outcome"
If you're new to Ghostpoet and want to hear more, we highly recommend Cash and Carry Me Home, Survive It, Meltdown, Off Peak Dreams and last year's @Massive Attack collaboration Come Near Me.
