Laid Blak Releases 'It's A Pity' ft Tanya Lacey
Bristol’s Laid Back collective brings the lush summer reggae vibes with "It's a Pity" ft. Tanya Lacey.
It’s an organic, fun-filled sunshine dance tune. The single comes ahead of Laid Blak’s eagerly anticipated second album ‘About Time’ which drops on August 16th.
Having originally found its way onto YouTube with a DIY video,"It’s A Pity" has now received over 4.5 million views and with Spotify playlists also picking it up the track has had half a million streams in the last 12 months. These exceptional figures have warranted an official release for the single via Sugar Shack Records on 26th July 2019.
The Laid Blak sound takes massive inspiration from ska and reggae but has often been described as ‘street soul’. Brought together in Bristol by Producer DJ Bunjy (after shows around the world for Kelis, Massive Attack, Public Enemy, Basement Jaxx and Damien Marley) and MC Joe Peng (Founder member). This urban heavyweight has influences that define the eclectic sound of Bristol music; reggae, dancehall, soul, hip hop, funk and jazz, whilst of course never forgetting their jungle heritage. It’s all in the blend and the result is a fun-filled sunshine dance music.
A remix of ‘It’s A Pity’ will also get a release on August 30th with remixes from Uri Green, Vinyl Junkie & Kickback and Gratitude.
