Drawing us in with an astral energy and pounding drums with psychedelic synth nuance, Baze Blackwood opens Banana Ketchup with atmospheric vocals and metaphorical yet situational constructs.
We are immediately intrigued by the poetic prowess and conscious depth of the prose, which fuses cohesively with the expansive soundscape that the artist shares.
The opus evolves with a unique narrative, taking us on an evocative journey and teasing the star’s upcoming album, SEO (Something Everything Oblivion).
Banana Ketchup is designed to introduce us to the remarkable life of María Orosa, a Filipina chemist, war hero, and culinary visionary. Baze pays tribute to her humanitarian legacy. The accompanying music video, set for release later this week, is set to further immerse us in her extraordinary story!
We learn that Baze Blackwood performs vocals, guitar, production, keys, rhythm, and sampling, and drawing inspiration from indie, alternative, and experimental genres, although there is no doubt that the visionary and talented artist is creating a universe of his own.
Baze Blackwood demonstrates high concept yet relatable artistry with a surrealist edge, and needless to say, we are in awe. The production demonstrates instrumental mastery, and we love the dimensionality and dynamic nature of what he is creating.
We have added Banana Ketchup to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Baze Blackwood‘s wider discography including Power Lines!
