Austin-based, Congolese-Canadian act David Shabani offers up self-reflective anthem “Spirits,” merging moody R&B textures with an effortless alt hip-hop signature. Led by understated yet punchy instrumentals, the track captures acknowledging you flaws without judgement and learning to accept yourself.
With deeply personal and introspective lyricism juxtaposed against energetic beats, the track is brooding and catchy all at once as Shabani's penchant for storytelling takes centre stage.
Drawing inspiration from musical luminaries such as Kid Cudi, Kaytranada, Lupe Fiasco, and Childish Gambino, Shabani aligns himself with the outsiders of hip-hop, carving a unique path for his artistry. An independent talent who has carefully honed an impactful artistry, Shabani is an act worth keeping on your radar.
