Updated description 4/5/21:
This episode was recorded and posted before Blxckbee came out, changing her name to Bailey (she/her/hers). She said leaving the audio in its original state is fine. The original description that follows has been amended.
Blxckbee is a lofi artist who finds extraordinary in the ordinary -- during our talk, I was so intrigued by just how down to earth Blxckbee’s approach to making music is, especially how she came up with the idea for her latest album, Watching the World Wake Up. Her brand new work, an EP titled Awaited, Ahead, was released as a birthday present to herself. Definitely one of my favorite lofi releases of the year. Ever since it dropped I’ve had it on repeat, especially “Sign of Change (Reborn)” -- which I feel encapsulates lofi’s jazz roots. Gives me major coffee shop vibes. Always a pleasure to drink coffee and listen to lofi.
p.s. Blxckbee is the first producer I’ve ever interviewed. I was super nervous that we wouldn’t have enough to talk about bc I always try to do a deep dive into lyric writing, but there was SO much that we discussed. I’ve known of Blxckbee’s music for a few years now, so I feel like this convo is long overdo. While it is our first, I know for a fact that it won’t be the last time we talk.
