Skaiwater, the artist from Nottingham known for #Gigi, has dropped a fresh tune called “Pop,” crafted alongside Elkan and Anca Trio Plus One.
Last year, Serge Selenou shared his thoughts on #Gigi, describing it as a mix of popular sounds from the decade, coming together like a playlist of SoundCloud favorites. He remarked, “Beats venture all across the African diaspora; Skaiwater makes excursions to chaotic Brazilian funk, Jamaican dancehall grooves, and the jittery litefeet that turns up NYC parks. Distorted bass and random EQ hijinks will terrorize your speaker. Vocal pitches fluctuate all over the place.”
You can find more about how #Gigi landed at No. 12 in “The 50 Best Albums of 2024” and explore why its song “Rain” is celebrated at No. 6 among “The 100 Best Songs of 2024.”
Fans sometimes wonder how such diverse sounds can fit so well together.
