Music: I still remember By BIM
BIM releases new Soulful single, ‘I Still Remember’.Off the back of the success of her previous single ‘O.T.R.’ London-based singer-songwriter with gospel roots, BIM returns with her new ethereal, soulful single, ‘I Still Remember’, produced by LGK, taken from her upcoming EP.
‘I Still Remember’ is a soulful take on the emotional whirlwind that depicts the collective experience of being black in Britain. Opening with BIM’s familiar bass lines, the single navigates through an intricate flawless refined soundscape of slow, textured beats and elegant melodies, allowing for her celestial harmonies to cushion her every word.
Speaking about the single, BIM explains “It was written in the summer of 2020 when it seemed that so many, for the first time, we’re seeing the reality of our daily lives for what can be. There seemed to be an awakening taking place but this song articulates my frustration with the idea that this is a ‘new’ occurrence. It’s not.
Calling out what has been wrong for so long is very overdue and this is my way of asking where were you? and why did you take so long?” Equipped with a soaring mezzo soprano which has tone and texture in abundance, deft songwriting and a clear point of view, BIM has provided distinctive vocals for many of the world’s top artists including; Stormzy, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Bastille, & Elton John. She also coordinated the choir for The Royal Wedding.
