The Predatory Wasp
Another Summer Night seems to have landed at least six months too late; I can’t really think of a title (or vibe) less suited to the general mood in the UK right now. However Kamaiyah is as bouncy as ever, and although this doesn’t really compare to her divinely brash and boisterous debut A Good Night In The Ghetto, it’s a diverting change from the rain-lashed misery we’re all currently sucking up.
Extravagant is everything I love about Kamaiyah in a single track: big, bold, old-school sounding production, super-confident delivery and tongue-in-cheek lyrics that are perfectly balanced between the self-aggrandising and the ridiculous. “I took off big like a rocket / I’m eating sushi with my hands, fuck chopsticks”. Iconic.
This is from the new Kamaiyah album that landed today. Definitely not one for the family playlist – outrageously explicit but so fun and bangs properly hard. Happy Friday!
