Bussdown Your Soul

极富创造力的讲述者AUGUST 08，带来全新单曲“Bussdown Your Soul”，浓墨重彩地向整个世界再次介绍自己。这一作品，是关于“bussdown”的深入诠释，作为街头文化的明珠，AUGUST 08借由这支单曲反映出，他作为黑人同时作为音乐人，所一路经历的旅程。“Bussdown Your Soul”向听众传达着，早年时的August在充满帮派文化的复杂环境中成长的焦虑，以及作为一名艺术家在当代艺术世界中寻求真理的过程，两种感情与体验共同造就了AUGUST 08。 作为一位优秀的文化声音，AUGUST 08有意识地以独特的叙事方式在作品中表达情感，这种叙述受到如Pharrell Williams、Sugar Free、Nate Dogg、Dr. Dre、Phil Collins和 Cocaine 80s等诸多不同形式的当代声音的影响。2018年，August以AUGUST 08的身份登上音乐舞台，发表了饱受赞誉的处女作EP《FATHER》，Pigeons & Planes称赞这张EP为“令人惊讶的细腻的层次与优雅丰富的整体——这是属于22世纪的R&B作品，不可动摇地将情感转化为音乐的表达。” 早在他累积了成千上亿的流量，获得来自全世界的从Pitchfork到滚石的赞誉之前，他就已经坚定地开始了自己的音乐历程，一步步走到这里。“Bussdown Your Soul”将通过细腻生动的歌词、旋律和画面感，以另一种独特的笔触，为这位土生土长的洛杉矶音乐人正持续创作的美丽画布，增添更美妙的色彩。 Dynamic storyteller, AUGUST 08, emphatically reintroduces himself to the world with “Bussdown Your Soul” - a trope of the term bussdown, known in the streets as jewelry, repurposed as a theme that reflects his journey thus far as a black man and as an artist. “Bussdown Your Soul” expresses the angst felt by a young August growing up in the gritty environments of gang culture juxtaposed against his truths in navigating the contemporary world as an artist.   As a prominent cultural voice, AUGUST 08 intentionally extracts emotions with distinct storytelling over contemporary sounds drawn from diverse influences such as Pharrell Williams, Sugar Free, Nate Dogg, Dr. Dre, Phil Collins, and Cocaine 80s. In 2018, August appeared on the scene as AUGUST 08, delivering the tastemaker-approved debut EP “FATHER”, which Pigeons & Planes described as“surprising in both its degree of vulnerability and general polish—this is R&B for the 22nd century, an unflinching transmutation of emotion into music.” His personal story did start long before he gathered hundreds of millions of streams with endorsements of everyone from Pitchfork to Rolling Stone. “Bussdown Your Soul” serves as another stroke that adds color, through meaningful melodies, words and imagery, to the beautiful canvas the Los Angeles native continues to paint.
