a-okay

Belgium based alternative Hip-Hop group blackwave. team up with Abhi The Nomad to create nostalgic 90s R&B funk fusion track a-okay.

a-okay is about failing to find the words to express your feelings to someone in this chaotic world that we are living in, sometimes we simply cannot find the time. The lyricism in contrast to the upbeat tempo often paints a bleak picture however there is still a note of positivity and hope that cannot be hidden.

Perfectly suited for the upcoming long summer nights, the track has an addictive rhythmic guitar that is looped throughout the track providing a jazzy feel to it alongside the instruments making it multi-textured. 

Speaking of the song, Willem explains:

“The song reflects that feeling of having unfinished business with someone, or that a story isn’t finished. It’s the unsettling feeling of an open ending. The feeling I get from it is like when you’re riding your bike through the park really early, when the sun is just rising, and everything is covered in mist. There’s some sort of veil covering everything, and slowly yet surely the sun comes beaming through.”

Jay adds his inspiration for the track:

“I went off something I felt for my girl at the time, being that I needed to tell her so many things but got caught up in so many other things whilst grinding life and a career that I just didn’t get to it and even lowkey forgot about it…”

They have recently just announced that their next album no sleep in LA will be released this September.
