London-based artist and poet, Latir, has released his long-awaited single “Am I Allowed To Say I’ve Missed You” – a sound that strings together his love for hip-hop, old school jazz, indie and electronic music. From growing up in suburban London in a musical family and playing in a Gambian-based Choir, Latir progressed with his musical surroundings at school. The new single “Am I Allowed To Say I’ve Missed You” was written with inspiration from 80’s soul/pop music, meaning Latir decided to use heavier and higher frequency drums throughout.
Speaking on the new single Latir writes, “I really want to make music that affects people, inspired by our moments and memories… whether in love, subjects like anxiety, depression, social justice matters, etc… My aim is to transcend people now and forever, to aid and relate, and to be the sonic backdrop to all our most prevalent feelings in the most nostalgic, melancholic, wavy way ever… If I've managed to transcend these feelings either live on stage or in someone’s headphones/speakers, then my purpose has been served”.
"Am I Allowed To Say I’ve Missed You" is out now on all streaming platforms.
