London alternative-psychedelic rock artist Sabatta has released his new
single 'Get Over Yourself', the second taste of his new album 'How To Get
Even’ (out on November 17 via Blackfriars Entertainment) with a video that
introduces the unique guitar - The Pick! Aka AfroGuitar!
‘Get Over Yourself' deals with ‘build em up, break em down’ celebrity culture via a barrage of grimy riffs, pumping bass and pounding drums.This relentless rocker is anchored by a heavy and hypnotic chorus, which backs the vocal mantra of the track’s title! Also included is a shredfest solo, as ferocious as a social media comment section! Beware, no one is safe, as the saying goes ‘the internet is undefeated!’
Revolving around guitarist and songwriter Yinka Oyewole, who was raised in
Essex and is of Nigerian lineage, Sabatta crafts a raw and individual sound with spiky guitar and an inimitable voice, like a mix of Hendrix, QOTSA and early Red Hot Chili Peppers strained through the sieve of South London. And it's no wonder with musical influences ranging from Curtis Mayfield, Prince, Tupac and Hendrix to Bad Brains, Thin Lizzy, Parliament / Funkadelic and Black Sabbath.
"Inspiration for ‘Get Over Yourself’ came from the current thirst for fallen idols. It’s like a modern day version of human sacrifice, but lives have been replaced by reputations and the Gods are the insatiable beasts of social media opinion.
Beware, no one is safe, as the saying goes ‘the internet is undefeated!" says Yinka Oyewole.
