Fantastic Negrito announces reimagined acoustic version of 2022 album with first outing "Highest Bidder"
Fantastic Negrito has returned to announce Grandfather Courage, a reimagined acoustic version of last year's album White Jesus Black Problems, and has released the acoustic reimagined version of "Highest Bidder" as the first preview.
"Highest Bidder" originally arrived in February 2022 as the lead outing from his White Jesus Black Problems album, and today (4 January) he's unveiled an acoustic reimagined version of the song.
He says, "If you want to take your mind, body and soul on a trip check out the reimagined recording of "Highest Bidder" through the lenses of my touring band. At the time, I was listening to a lot of African drum patterns, and that definitely influenced this song. I’m trying to convey what I see when I walk down the street here in Oakland."
Of the reimagined album, he adds, "The incredible story of my seventh generation grandparents was so profound. I reimagined it through the lenses of my touring band. Please check it out unplugged unapologetic reimagined."
The acoustic, reimagined version of "Highest Bidder" is out now. Fantastic Negrito's Grandfather Courage album will be released on 3 February.
