The London-born, Maryland-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist - aka Ibe Soliman - continues to build on the well-deserved acclaim from his 2021 debut LP, \"PINK,\" as well as a slew of standalone singles and collaborations with the likes of Shabazz Palaces, Jarv Dee, and Stas THEE Boss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Always With U\" sees Ibe further develop his talents as a songwriter and producer, while maintaining the signature balance of banging dance music and dense bars that he's quickly becoming known for. The album expands Ibe's role to a collaborator, band leader, and all-around star-of-the-show; it's certainly still a dance record, but there's also so much more. Live instrumentation accompanies every track, with the notable contributions of Nigerian bassist Akin-Alade Ogo heard across the album, as well as the NY-based saxophonist Carras Paton on the jazzy, upbeat house number, \"Heartache + U.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lead single, \"Maybe I Should Move to LA,\" sees the proudly Brooklyn-based Bad Colours contemplate a move out West – an idea that came about following a trip to LA for the 20 Years of Bastard Jazz anniversary party (which he DJed) in November last year. Bright pads, a thumping four-on-the-floor beat, and a catchy vocal line make it the perfect accompaniment to a top-down joy-ride up PCH. The album's second single, \"You Don't Know,\" features frequent collaborator and PNW darling Jarv Dee, as well as KAS and JVDE who have both been making waves in the Brooklyn scene (KAS for his work with Grammy- nominated producer Harmony Samuels featured on BET, and JVDE as the lead-singer of alternative band Blind Benny). \"You Don't Know\" turns up the heat with Jarv and KAS trading dense, rapid-fire verses over a high-tempo beat and detuned vocal; the kick cuts out for the bridge, replaced by syncopated keyboard stabs and JVDE's stacked vocals. \"You Don't Know\" is high-energy hip house at its finest: Super catchy and irresistibly dancey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50452247183691,"sku":"2002071","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Always_with_U_ef88c8e0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727145569"},{"product_id":"pink","title":"Pink","description":"\u003cp\u003eBad Colours is the moniker of London-born, Maryland-raised, Brooklyn-based DJ and producer Ibe Soliman.

Inspired by some rough ideas and samples that friends sent him, Ibe focussed his attention on making music. From time well spent soaking up and storing sounds from clubs around the world, Ibe found, now with the time to dedicate towards it, the tracks flooding out. Taking cues from early Trax records and Larry Heard, the UKG musicality of MJ Cole, Todd Edwards' vocal sampling techniques, the brashness of Bmore, and an encyclopedia of disco, funk and soul knowledge; Ibe got to work and quickly compiled more than enough tracks for a full-length release. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bastard Jazz","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50463892930891,"sku":"1117398","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d1859463-f89f-49b8-a4c5-48ce684a1642_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727268131"},{"product_id":"promise-2","title":"Promise","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"81\" data-end=\"526\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePromise\u003c\/em\u003e is the latest album from Brooklyn-based producer Ibe Soliman, aka Bad Colours.
