“Trouble” leans into a more genre-bending lane for Bassy with an anthemic guitar and drum laden beat as he croons the relatable lyrics. The cinematic visual directed by Bobby Hanaford
brings Bassy’s storytelling in the lyrics to life.
“Trouble” follows the release of “Atmosphere” (prod. By Count Bassy, Nic Nac) and “Zone” (prod. By Jess Jackson, NGHTXNGHT) which were released last month with V Magazine exclaiming, “Both feature experimentation with traditionally smooth-flowing R&B melodies…” in their Best New Music Round-Up while Billboard declares the tracks display a “more refined sound” in their Fresh R&B/Hip-Hop Best Tracks round up. Bassy is continuing to push the boundaries sonically with the inclusion of live instrumentation in these new offerings.
These releases follow last year’s PMD (Deluxe) album which was the first official release under New Gold Medal. PMD has been streamed over 100 million times worldwide and includes the standout hit “Just My Luck” ft. blackbear. Other features include Mozzy, 070 Shake, Bibi Bourelly and more.
