Rising swiftly through the ranks of the UK hip-hop scene, talented upcomer, BURNEY, is poised to once again capture the attention of audiences with single, ‘Tie Me Down’. This track masterfully melds resonant guitar melodies with the energetic flair of rap, creating a seamless fusion that exudes an enticing sensuality. Through this musical offering, Burney continues to chart his distinctive path in the world of music. From the very outset of the song, he fearlessly asserts his artistic identity, presenting a narrative that resonates universally—an exploration of a young man’s journey through the challenging waters of
commitment, a theme universally understood
Commenting on the tune, Burney said; “Tie me down is a guitar-infused UK rap song with a sexy edge. It tells the story of negotiating the commitment stage when you’re used to playing the field. This track is an interesting contradiction in the typical rapper shit of only caring about myself & being promiscuous, when really the idea of settling into something serious is just as exciting. Being terrified of intimacy but enjoying the benefits that come with it is a sticky situation for both parties involved, but it makes damn good music..”
Burney’s journey took an exciting turn in 2021 when his single “San Pellegrino” caught the attention of BBC Introducing The South, who hailed it as their track of the week. Notably, the track also garnered recognition from the renowned drinks company San Pellegrino itself, solidifying Burney’s growing reputation. After a hiatus, Burney returned to the scene with renewed creativity and a fresh perspective, evident in his recent singles ‘Crazy Enough’ and ‘Best Friends / Demons.’ These releases marked the inception of a series of captivating tracks for 2023, exploring themes of self-discovery and love amidst the aftermath of toxic relationships.
Hailing from the serene hills of Surrey, Burney is well-acquainted with pushing the boundaries of UK hip-hop. His distinctive style weaves smooth vocals with a captivating blend of neo-soul, rap, and dance influences, offering listeners an unparalleled sonic journey. Having graced prestigious stages like The Isle of Wight Festival and Brighton’s The Great Escape as part of the collective Dirtbag By Association, Burney has established himself as a solo artist. With the release of ‘Tie Me Down’ he elevates his artistry to new heights, showcasing his growth as an artist and delivering a fusion of storytelling and musical prowess. Check it out below…
