Be Kind - Cowbell

Grotesqualizer

Stream a new single of UK/Australia multi-instrumentalist and MC Ollie Bates.

Following his last work “Beyond The Wood,” the artist makes an appealing mix of hip hop and neo-soul on “Cowbell.” The interesting approach to the drums is complemented by the thick bass line and accentuating jazz guitar tweaks, while Be Kind’s smooth flow moves on top of these live instrumentals. The musician tells about his life journey and trying to find peace, and in the chorus his beautiful and velvety vocals come to light. “Cowbell” reminds of The Roots’ sound delivery and Tom Misch’s relaxing nature. Be Kind finds the most intricate in agility and original melodies.
