British producer and vocalist Obaro Ejimiwe, better known as Ghostpoet, has dropped the first video from his upcoming second album.
The track, ‘Meltdown’, comes accompanied by a suitably nocturnal night bus narrative, and a haunting guest female vocal from Woodpecker Wooliams. It follows on from free download, ‘MSI MUSMID’, reportedly penned in honour of a dream involving befriending dim sum and noodles, and first premiered on Gilles Peterson’s BBC 6Music show.
Both tracks are taken from Ejimiwe’s upcoming sophomore effort, entitled Some Say I So I Say Light, due to be released 6 May through PIAS. The record was co-produced by Richard Formby, and follows Ghostpoet’s Mercury nominated debut, Peanut Butter Blues and Melancholy Jam.
