About Sam Akpro's Dusty
, Peckham-born alchemist Sam Akpro returns with a brand new single “Dusty”, available now on ANTI-. The single marks Akpro's first solo outing since his acclaimed debut album, ‘Evenfall’, a stunning document of his singular, prodigious talent, and follows his recent collab single with TYSON, “Wayside”.
“Dusty” opens with the sort of woozy, foreboding synths you could almost imagine soundtracking a ‘70s Giallo flick, before quickly morphing into a deceptively tropical, dub-laced burner. Atop it Akpro weaves dexterous vocal lines that lament wasted time and opportunities.
Of the track, he explains: “I wrote the instrumental a couple months back during a creative block. It took me a while to find the melody and lyrics but once it clicked, I finished the track in a few hours. It’s a reflection on where I was over a year ago before I stopped drinking.”
