The singer, composer and producer of
music known as Cidic Sol has released his latest single, “Obaa.”
The track has been independently released and is the most significant
official release from Cidic Sol to date. It has been concurrently
published alongside its official music video by the same title,
available to the public for viewing everywhere. Groovy, exotic and
uplifting, “Obaa” by Cidic Sol is one of the most intriguing and
new dance singles to appear in 2014 so far.
Cidic Sol cites as main artistic
influences such artists as Omar, Osunlade, and Floating Points. His
signature sound is inspired in part by these, but takes cues from a
vast spread of varying styles throughout the genres of R 'n' B, nu
soul, hip hop and electronica. This amalgam is further augmented by
Cidic Sol's musical culture, which has its origins in Ghana, Africa.
Speaking of his start in music, Cidic
Sol's representative writes that he began by performing “his own
songs backed by old hip-hop tracks which steered from a boarding
school fresher’s initiation in sixth form whilst reading sciences
in the Volta region of Ghana.”
The themes of “Obaa” are playfully
romantic in nature, though not dramatic. Speaking of this, Cidic Sol
writes, “Obaa (Woman) talks about how the pressures of life make us
make different choices to please others, but at some point we have to
take a break to look at what we really want.”
The artist, who now lives in England,
writes of his music career in the UK thus:
“Cidic Sol was a young artist who had
a deep love and affection for music and all that it had to offer.
Performing at the National Theatre, fashion shows and
Guinness-sponsored talent shows earned him management, although short
lived due to the call of education.
“Life really started in London for
Cidic Sol as he hooked up with various artists and producers
heightening his senses and homing in on his hidden love of something
different. The love of Hip Hop, Reggae, Rnb and Nu Soul was soon to
be fashioned into his own interpretations...
“With an ever-evolving music industry
that is now becoming more accessible the plan was to learn develop
and move forward. Writing and recording was next on his list working
with a few different engineers and producers, however it had not
always been easy being understood creatively. It was inevitable that
he would get drawn to a producer by the name of Patric Mclean (Dark
Chambers), at Brickworx Studios, the home of CS Gas Records. Together
they embarked on developing and the production of Cidic-Sol’s EP,
'Dialect,' merging his mother tongue and the journey of his
influences so far.
“As Cidic Sol plans his next project
with the BrumTown Hit Factory, surely another great contribution is
set to follow.”
“Obaa” by Cidic Sol is available
online worldwide.
