BLINKY BILL — “DRACULA”

The multi-faceted artist releases his newest single, an emotional and empowering message born out of a frustration at the state of the world.

Hailing from Nairobi, Kenya, multifaceted producer, artist, and DJ Blinky Bill is a leading force in the industry. Honing his impressive, unique soundscape and building a wide discography over the past decade, he has shared his expertise on collaborations, solo projects, and as part of the electronic music and arts collective Just A Band.

Following his two critically acclaimed solo albums, We Cut Keys While You Wait and Everyone’s Just Winging It And Other Fly Tales, Blinky Bill sets out to release a third — We Cut Keys 2 — at the start of next year. His new single gives us insight into this next chapter of music, and fans are truly in for a treat.

Titled “Dracula”, the track is a powerful African hip-hop anthem with a thought-provoking message of empowerment and social consciousness. Coming across the song in the studio with his collaborator, Dillie, Blinky Bill instantly connected with the track’s sample hook and brought in his own frustrations and drive to address the present state of the world. In his own words, the song is “about standing up for yourself and speaking up for others in need of a voice.”

“It felt like a song that made me want to open up and talk about my frustration, which I think is indicative of other people’s frustrations on the state of the world right now,” he continues. “There’s a lot of feel-good music when many people aren’t feeling good. Reminded me of how Bob Marley used to talk about so many things going on around the world, happy and sad.”
