Barney Artist shares details of new EP
Forest Gate's Barney Artist has announced his new EP, Bikes Are Bikes.
Details of his new EP have landed after last month's mellow single "Calm Down".
It will also be his first collection of tracks since his 2018 debut album, Home Is Where the Art Is.
Speaking about his forthcoming EP, Barney Artist says, "I decided to call it Bikes Are Bikes because it means "it is what it is" and after the incredible year I had with HIWTAI I made this project so freely because I’m feeling way more secure with who I am as an artist and where I belong in this current hip-hop climate… I was fortunate to work with some new incredible producers on this EP, Linden Jay, Harvey Gunn and George Kwali who I hit it off with and made music with effortlessly! I also got my brother long-time collaborator Tom Misch on a track as well… I’m super excited for everyone to hear where I’m at and get this ball rolling."
Happy to announce my new project
