EP Review: Fuk Being Famous Vol.1 – Ethanpil

Right from the beginning, ETHANPIL‘s EP, ‘FUK Being Famous Vol.1’ bursts with trap-like beats combined with heavy-rolling bass, that just pops and hits between the eyes… and trust me on this one, this mini collection is more than ready to BLOW OFF the roof of any house party.

‘UK Being Famous Vol.1’ slows down (just a little) with tracks, ‘You Doing 2 Much’, ‘Slow’ and ‘Disrepectful Shiit’ all still retaining the trap/heavy bass combo (which is obviously a neat trademark of this slick spitter) but with a slight laid-back feel in the air. The EP bounces right back to speed with ‘Active’, bringing back that much-needed, head-bopping energy from the beginning.

All I have to say about this EP is, if you wanna start your summer right, well this is the best place to start. Check out ‘UK Being Famous Vol.1’ below and songs recommendations…

Must listens: Fuk Being Famous, 100K, Slow, Disrespectful Shiit

Song of the Day: Tired – Ashleigh Bankx

‘Tried’ is ASHLEIGH BANKX‘s first single release of 2022, which captures the essence of UK Afro-Swing. The single shows the zimbabwean native’s bold lyricism and instrumentation to tell a bittersweet story of love and romance, while showcasing her rich vocal and candid lyricism.

Song of the Day: Back Around – Ellie Byers

ELLIE BYERS returns with second single, ‘Back Again’, which gives a candid insight about a couple struggling to make it work. Ultimately they know what they have is special, so no matter how many times they call it quits, they always end up back together. ‘Back Again’ was written by Ellie with singer-songwriter Syon, who is also featured on the single.

Oozing soothing, melodic R&B undertones, ‘Back Again’ follows her BBC Introducing-approved debut, ‘Role Play’. Both singles forms part of her debut EP, ‘Gone Too Far’ expected for release later this year.
