1000 Beasts ft: Malaki - Brigitte Bardot (Single)
1000 Beasts is back, and this time in collaboration with talented rapper Malaki on the track “Brigitte Bardot”. The single is a vibrant, urban offering that blends hip-hop, pop and soul together. “Brigitte Bardot” features playful drums, infectious horn sections and divine backing vocals. Malaki’s talented bars land on top of a colourful instrumental, and come drenched in personality, taking the listener on a musical journey.
Speaking about the single, 1000 Beasts says: “I've been following Malaki's work for a while now and was excited about the possibility of collaborating on this album. I sent him a playlist of beats I was working on and we experimented with a few before he came back with the idea for Brigitte Bardot. I'll never forget, we were in a small studio near William Street South when I played the beat and he just spewed off this crazy story about a bad date, burnt pancakes, and cans of Dutch Gold. It was a great moment. Collaborating with a talented storyteller like Malaki has been a unique creative experience. I've loved every moment of the process, especially as it offers a fresh direction and new flavor from my previous work, while still fitting seamlessly within the 1000 Beasts discography."
Malaki says: “Brigitte Bardot is a story about a date. Which we know can have highs and lows. But more importantly, the song itself is a reminder to myself to not overthink what I release. At the end of the day music is supposed to be expressive and fun and that’s exactly what this song is.”
1000 Beasts is arguably one of, if not the most, prolific producers to come out of Cork in the past few years. 1000 Beats is the moniker of one talent producer who collaborates with different artists on each track, making every release solely unique, distinctive and creates music greater than the sum of its parts.The likes of FeliSpeaks, Célia Tiab, LENII, Arthur Valentine, April and Orla Gartland have penned tracks with him - all of which have been received warmly, gathered way over 7 million streams collectively.
On stage, 1000 Beasts is a dynamic five-piece ensemble featuring guitar, saxophone, drums, bass, live electronics and two vocalists. The ensemble have certainly made their mark on the live circuit, playing at festivals such as Body & Soul in 2022 and selling out an Irish tour. With an irresistible live show, and an upcoming sophomore album, 1000 Beasts is set to take 2023 by storm.
