NS015 – Bok Bok ft Kelela – Melba’s Call

After Bok Bok’s work with the Fade To Mind star Kelela on her Cut4Me mixtape in 2013, the pair team up again on ‘Melba’s Call’, the single from Bok’s forthcoming EP.

After a series of live sets blending Bok’s grime selection with Kelela’s powerful vocals, ‘Melba’s Call’ continues in that Grime&B tradition. The beat blends classic funk production with the unsteady 8bar logic and sub weight that run through all of Bok’s work. Classic samples are subverted for new purpose, an array of melodic detail and DMX drums reverberating in a concrete space. This is grime as deconstructed pop production.

Kelela’s visceral update of the R&B female modality with genuine, self-penned tales of love in 2014 completes the piece.
