White Boys
Islington’s King Kofi impresses on the powerful and infectious ‘White Boys’. One of the hottest crossover acts to come onto the scene in recent times, King Kofi offers up a concoction of genre that is distinctive and highly effective. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Bakar, the singer songwriter combines guitar driven indie aesthetic with the blasé, effortless timbre of hip hop and the soulful tinge of alternative R&B.
Due to his ability to appeal to indie, hip hop and R&B fans alike, it’s no surprise that King Kofi is a name who has been creating some serious hype in the alternative field. Now back with a new tune, he has struck upon a winning formula - delivering a sing along banger whilst upholding deeper social and moral connotations.
The lowkey instrumental is wistful and subdued, with echoed, spacious guitar and synth melodies gliding around the sonic landscape, married with natural drums and bass. Kofi’s vocal delivery is effortless and emotional, as the artist shows his craft for story telling. Kofi addresses racism within the dating world; both through the visionary visual that offers depth and symbolism through the simple, creative concept and also in the abstract yet focused lyrical content.
With dextrous technique, a versatile palette and a striking lyrical approach, expect King Kofi to attain mainstream success in 2021.
