Worricka - Constitution (Official Video)

Neo-soul singer-songwriter Worricka releases his captivating new single ‘Constitution’, out everywhere on 20 July.

Having seen previous success under Joe Worricker, the multi-faceted artist releases his debut single under his new moniker in what he calls his ‘most authentic music to date.’

With a number of high profile accolades already under his belt, including a duet with Boy George on his This Is What I Dub collection, praise from Nina Simone’s daughter on his ode track ‘Nina’ and critical acclaim from key tastemakers such as The Guardian, BBC Radio 1, Music Week and many more, Worricka embarks on a new chapter with the release of ‘Constitution’.

With his rare, distinctively smoky vocal style, the high praise comes as no surprise. Colliding intensely autobiographical writing with a knack for fantastical, sometimes surreal wordplay, ‘Constitution’ once again showcases Worricka’s natural gift for telling compelling stories through his music, gliding over a beautifully crafted urban groove.

Naming Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu and Sarah Vaughan as his main inspirations, Worricka draws from his combined influences, as well as R&B, neo-soul and pop sensibilities to create his distinctive sound. Speaking of the track, Worricka says, “I wrote Constitution at home in my bedroom. I started with the chords and the backing vocals, then wrote the verses over the top of that. Once I finished it, my amazing producer Craigie Dodds took everything to the next level. I’m really happy with how it turned out, because I feel like it encapsulates everything I’ve been listening to growing up.

Lyrically, the track is about the constitution of the mind and the battle between your positive and negative inner monologue. It’s autobiographical & like a lot of songs, it’s part affirmation too, as in the song, mainly positivity and hope triumph. Enjoy your own uniqueness and craziness, be kind and forgiving to yourself and be hopeful for the future.”
