The project has an unusual history. The original sketches were created in May 2016 under the working title España, years before I had ever visited the country. Nearly a decade later, after multiple visits to Madrid and Barcelona and countless revisits to the recordings, those early ideas have evolved into a completed release.more

As 2026 comes to a close, I thought it'd be a good time to reflect and post this tune from late last year. That, and I've just remembered this site exists... Let me know what u think, bit of a remake of an old track. Wanted to clean it up a bit and give it a proper structure. No AI used!!! more

"Ships Passing" opens in motion — bells, urgency, a mind already running — and never quite lets you settle. Built on deep drone textures and Yaa Mensah Brjánnsdóttir's ethereal lead vocal, the track carries an unmistakable quality: something ancient moving through something modern, Ethiopian devotional music filtered through downtempo electronics and indie sensibility. Her voice doesn't so much sing the melody as haunt it. JB's lyric works in the tension between ambition and failure, distraction and discipline — the drop-in-the-bucket feeling of trying to change something vast with limited tools. But the chorus turns that anxiety into a quiet manifesto: one percent improved by sundown. It's the Atomic Habits as love song, incremental progress dressed in morning light. The bridge lands gently and precisely — two ships, open water, a choice about who follows whom. It reframes everything before it. What felt like a motivational anthem reveals itself as something more intimate: a relationship navigating the same currents, trying to stay in sight of each other. Drone, drift, and discipline in equal measure — Ships Passing is Kwameku at their most atmospheric.more
