When the world around you sucks, one way to feel better is by finding solace in music’s spellbinding respite. AKINFELAY’s new single, “Everybody Knows”, provides escape with its free, videogame-like dreamscape, comprised of friends, birds in the sky and crude but child-like rhyme schemes; “I Don’t Really Like To Say Penis/ I’d Rather Just Say My Prick”. Paired with looped synths, nursery rhyme-esque melodies and the occasional ad-libs, “Everybody Knows” is presented as a playful freestyle with lyrics, aware but unflustered by hash realities. Rapping “I Don’t Really Wanna Get This/ I Don’t Really Like People”, AKINFELAY is real enough to know he’s not perfect, but he’d rather focus on things that he feels are worth it like “mother nature”.
