Fantastic Negrito – A Boy Named Andrew
Fantastic Negrito - A Boy Named Andrew
(Blackball Universe
Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Californian bluesman Fantastic
Negrito is rewriting the blues rulebook one page at a time and his new single
is a big plot twist. ‘A Boy Named Andrew’ reflects on the musician’s time
growing up in foster care and is set to a song that is both stompingly direct
and darkly uncertain. The blues structure is slung around the room but
Middle-Eastern melodic influences, Fantastic Negrito’s hugely soulful vocal and
the kind of musicianship that comes from experience and feel rather than
overproduced studio time. There is a darkness in this song that is impossible
to ignore but if you stare in to the darkness long enough you’ll start to see
the shapes and right there in the centre is the flicker of light. Of hope.
