Slikback Previews Upcoming LP With New Track, ‘SKIN TIGHT’

The track features Kuwait-based producer Van Boom and is the first to be unveiled from his currently untitled next album

Slikback is lining up a new album, and has previewed it with a brand new track, ‘SKIN TIGHT’.

Out this week, the track sees the Kenyan artist team up with Kuwait-based producer Van Boom, with the former adopting the gritty and industrial sound that has characterised much of his recent work on the new song. You can listen to it above.

Full details on the album are yet to be revealed, but a press release says it "sees Slikback collaborating with various artists from across the globe, combining their sounds with his own to create the pieces on the record." It’s expected to be released sometime in October, and follows a string of self-released works from Slikback, including his 2020 debut album, made available via his Bandcamp page, as well as EPs on Nyege Nyege Tapes sub-label Hakuka Kulala.

‘SKIN TIGHT’ is out now.
