This Is New Music by Mark Muggeridge
It’s only eleven months since Basheba was mentioned here, but her progress since then and her current single, High n’ Dry on YOB records justifies her reappearance on this page.
The blend of musical influences from her childhood along with inspiration of her mother’s Bajan roots gives Basheba’s blend of R&B, gospel, and blues a unique twist.
Online and radio platforms such as SBTV, AKA, Flava, MTV Base and Kiss FM have all logically supported this star on the rise but I’m sure that before very long at all she will find a more mainstream audience and you’ll be picking up tastemaker points for having known about the stylish singer before the crowd arrived.
She’s currently working on a debut album due out towards the end of the year and considering that this young singer has already had considerable support from BBC Introducing and has been an Artist of the Week on Xfm I expect to see her on long lists for things like the BBC Sound Of poll in December. Key Track: High N’ Dry.
