Don’t get the name twisted. “BAD BOY,” the explosive new track from BAMBII is for the “hardcore girls.”
It’s been quite the year for the Toronto artist. Not only has she opened for Jamie XX on his tour, but she also booked a slot on Coachella’s coveted Do Lab stage. “BAD BOY” shows exactly why she’s in such high demand.
This track is an absolute weapon from its opening notes, with a jungle vocal chop hyping us up while a drum line sample and dynamic synth charge up in the background. The drop explodes with a high-octane breakbeat that sets the tone for the rest of the track, while BAMBII’s vocals weave across the gritty bass line and that stanky beat. The overall result is a diverse tapestry of a song that pulls threads from the best elements of dancehall and DnB.
Make sure to give it a listen below. Enjoy!
