1000 Beasts is arguably one of Ireland’s most exciting talents. His collaborations have been lauded by tastemakers and fans alike, with likes of FeliSpeaks, Célia Tiab, LENII, Arthur Valentine, April and Orla Gartland all appearing on his tracks. Each release is solely unique and personal, and his loyal fanbase seems to grow with each single.
His latest single comes in collaboration with rapper Malaki. “Brigitte Bardot” is a refreshing take on an old school sound. The track features vintage-tinged drums, understated guitars and infectious horn sections. Malaki’s bars land smoothly on top, coming soaked in personality.
Speaking about the single, 1000 Beasts says: “I've been following Malaki's work for a while now and was excited about the possibility of collaborating on this album. I sent him a playlist of beats I was working on and we experimented with a few before he came back with the idea for Brigitte Bardot. I'll never forget, we were in a small studio near William Street South when I played the beat and he just spewed off this crazy story about a bad date, burnt pancakes, and cans of Dutch Gold. It was a great moment. Collaborating with a talented storyteller like Malaki has been a unique creative experience. I've loved every moment of the process, especially as it offers a fresh direction and new flavor from my previous work, while still fitting seamlessly within the 1000 Beasts discography."
Malaki says: “Brigitte Bardot is a story about a date. Which we know can have highs and lows. But more importantly, the song itself is a reminder to myself to not overthink what I release. At the end of the day music is supposed to be expressive and fun and that’s exactly what this song is.”
With an irresistible live show and fantastic music, 1000 Beasts is destined for the top.
