Today, Busty and the Bass + S.T.S. are sharing another track from the upcoming KARNEVAL EP, a collection of soulful late night hip-hop centered around the theme of an abandoned fairground, evoking memories of relationships, desire, and nostalgia. 

“Memories About You” featuring Jordan Brown is “pure R&B”, the band says. “Like all the other tunes, it came about from jamming all together in the room with Jordan and S.T.S. filling in vocal ideas here and there. Jordan floated the melody overtop and it instantly became the hook to the track. The track is introspective and melancholy, and speaks to the ideas of loneliness and separation. It touches on the pain of breaking up with someone knowing I could try to do better for them by ‘changing’ but not being certain if we can change or have the will to change and that they might deserve better. There is a guilt and a shame that can come to heart and those memories, good and bad, can send us on a whirlwind of self doubt and as an artist specifically, that doubt can spill over into your craft and it can be painful.”

With their seamless blend of soulful vocals, hip hop, jazz-funk instrumentals, and signature brass and synths, Busty and the Bass is ushering in a new era of genre-defying sound. The band has released 2 full length albums, both produced by GRAMMY Award-winning producer Neal Pogue (Doja Cat, Anderson Paak, Tyler the Creator), and have collaborated with George Clinton, Macy Gray, Earth, Wind, & Fire's bassist Verdine White and more. Philly rapper and spoken word artist S.T.S. was discovered by DJ Jazzy Jeff, co-wrote Ciara's hit “Oh” and signed a deal with Def Jam before a near-fatal car accident put his career on pause. Over the years, S.T.S. rebuilt his career collaborating with a diverse range of artists such as Joywave, The Roots, RJD2, Agoria, and many more.

PRAISE FOR BUSTY AND THE BASS

"An undeniable live performance and a sound that’s best described as a lovechild between jazz, hip-hop, and electro-soul." - Complex

"Some fresh beats along with a juicy melody and you’ve got yourself an aural feast at which a jazzy, funkalicious hip-hop-infused experience awaits you." - The Huffington Post

"...a collection of reflective compositions showcasing their marriage of jazz, hip-hop and electro-soul influences" - Jazziz on Eddie

“If we need to pick a song of the summer – consider Out of Love, a funky, bubbling slice of R&B that cools the edge like tonic does to gin” The Globe and Mail on “Out Of Love”

"The overall vibe is that of a basement make-out party with dim lights, smoke-filled air, and a pile of R&B based rock, funk and soul 45s endlessly dropping down on the automatic record changer. The album should be played at a lower volume than most." - PopMatters on Eddie

“...an album filled with expert musicianship.” - Erie Reader on Eddie

"Combining their love of funk, soul, hip-hop, gospel and dance, Busty and the Bass is one of the baddest in the land when it comes to delivering unified sounds for the masses." - Okayplayer

"...drips with gold, beaming a timeless warmth, innocence, reflection, and adventure on a summery feel-good jazz-funk electro-soul pop fusion." - Atwood Magazine on Eddie

“This Montreal-funk eight-piece pulls out all the stops on its guest-laden new album. It’s Cool.” The Vancouver Sun on Eddie
