| Shaefri - Pixelate |
Release Date: Out Now
There’s something strangely but
enticingly captivating about the work of an elusive musician. Music, to me, is
rooted in sharing stories and passing on messages. So to hide that element of
music and be reticent in sharing your story intrigues me and that is the
proposition facing me in the shape of London dwelling Irish/Egyptian artist
Shaefri. The new single from this enigma comes in the form of ‘Pixelate’ and it
is a thing of beauty. Delicate key notes and pulsating beats form a soft,
feathered bed on which Shaefri’s voice luxuriates in a lazy, Sunday morning
kind of way. To be clear, I’m not talking about the Sunday mornings when you
get the papers and drink a gallon of tea, I’m talking about the Sunday mornings
when you wake up next to someone you love and lust after with nothing to do for
the rest of the day. Shaefri’s voice has that subtle and slightly cold
sensuality that served the likes of Portishead and Everything But The Girl so
well over the years and this song shows that voice off superbly. ‘Pixelate’ is
a labour of love with seduction at its core and it is well worth any level of
seclusion if this is the resultant story. Sheer beauty.
