‘Denial’ is a gorgeous, genre-breaking single that delivers sultry, smoky sounds to create a neo-noir, melancholic soundscape that keeps you coming back for more.
UK based artists Shaz and kwes e, build a narrative on the end of a relationship, and the thoughts that accompany the realisation that it’s over.
Speaking on the track, Shaz reveals, “This song is about mourning something that ended before you were ready for it to. Like maybe a final conversation you never got to have. Instead of picking up the phone and saying it, I put it in this song. I can only describe the song’s sound as what the colour blue feels like. That’s exactly it.”
She further notes, “I collaborated with the super talented rapper kwes e on this track, who brought his unique flows and perfect chill rap to this tune. The track features a lot of reversed and backwards vocal samples, and tape rewind sound effects, reflecting the feeling of going round in circles perhaps in your head, and even wanting to go backwards.”
