In a statement about the EP GRAMN. says, “This project is almost like a checklist for mortal threat, an acknowledgment of all that threatens my existence. The sounds reflect the times, up and down, soft and hard, a combination of feelings and observations on how this all came to be. Quoting Audre Lorde, “If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” I have to define myself for myself otherwise I will continue to be what other people need me to be, not who I am. In music I’ve always felt under pressure to choose, and in choosing one thing reject another - am I a singer but not a rapper, am I doing RnB but not HipHop, Soul but not Gospel. We chose to ignore those rules this time. Defining myself for myself means taking the time to create music which reflects the full spectrum of who I am and not what others want me to be.” With this expertly crafted and polished EP, GRAMN. leave no question that they are one of London’s frontrunners in experimental R&B, check them out now!

- Bowen Thi- Ain’t My Fault
The growing Asian American artist, Bowen Thi, joins forces with producer Hieloways to produce a sonically dark and rapid track that pays homage to 80s synth-wave music while steering into his own lane. The single arrives after the highly successful year Bowen received through singles such as “Company,” “Jewels on Fireflies,” and “Say My Name,” eventually dropping his anticipated EP titled “godspeed.” “Ain’t My Fault” is a song that focuses on mental deterioration following a heartbreak. Yearning for a time when everything was bliss, the song chooses to express the emotion that comes with toxicity. It is assumed in the track that both partners’ roles quickly led to their spirals, leading us to the chorus: “Ain’t my fault I’m fucked up now / They say I’m crazy, what’s that about? / I’ma shut my mouth and close my eyes / Scream that shit, can you tell me why-“ The video, directed by artist Mars Alva, shows a lone wanderer in Houston looking for an unknown woman. Throughout the video, it is hinted and revealed that the man suffers from a psychotic disorder. Mars Alva carefully crafts a psychedelic experience that beautifully complements the song by using fast cuts and hazy colouring.
