Producer OBSIDIAN CANE and singer GIZELLA continue to craft their newfound collaboration with the second release of the year, ‘Crazy World,’ out now across various music platforms.
With ‘Crazy World,’ Obsidian Cane once again proves that Drum ‘N’ Bass doesn’t have to be a formulaic affair by venturing into a mesmeric and delicate version of the genre. Gizella’s three-octave vocal range perfectly intertwines with the captivating soundscapes, calling for more humanity in today’s unsettling and disruptive times.
‘Crazy World’ quickly follows their debut single, ‘Never Change,’ which received raving reviews on various notable online publications. YourEDM and Playy magazine hailed the duo as ‘musical geniuses,’ whereas A&R Factory praised Obsidian Cane’s production prowess and compared Gizella’s vocal performance to the likes of Björk.
The collaboration was born out of Obsidian Cane’s search for a female vocalist. He asked an old school friend, who told him about a singer who rides a bike every morning, singing angelically. As Obsidian Cane and Gizella met for the first time, it became very clear that, although their music styles were very different, they could create something special that’s distinctive without compromising each other’s artistry.
Hailing from London, Obsidian Cane has produced music for artists signed to Warner Bros., EMI, and Parlophone as well as producing music for TV shows on Channel 4, BBC1, and BBC2. He scored a club hit, ‘I Need A Rhythm,’ as UKG duo KP and currently performs live with KP featuring Ferraz at events such as 51st State Festival and House of Silk. A Music Technology Graduate, Obsidian Cane bravely fuses R&B, Funk & Hip-Hop elements with electronic rhythms to create distinctive UK Garage, R&B/Hip Hop & Drum and Bass songs.
Debuting on Gotcha! Records in 1998 with the vinyl release of ‘Express Yourself,’ Gizella made a name for herself in the UK Underground Garage dance scene. Evolving as a versatile vocalist and singer-songwriter performing across a wide spectrum of genres – including Hip Hop, EDM, Drum n Bass, and Dubstep – Gizella has gained a well-earned reputation as a vocal chameleon and storyteller and has collaborated with various artists, including Korostyle, Juleunique, Mizimo, Experimental Feelings, and Ronny Becher.
