When Just A Band announced that they were taking a break for a little while, a lot of fans were heartbroken. What they did to console us though, was announce that they would be working on their individual projects, in whatever field that interested them.
Blinky Bill took to Twitter to announce his EP, “We Cut Keys While You Wait”, about a week ago. He had previously announced that he eas working on his album so I just thought that this was going to be a build up to it.
I took some time to listen to the six-track project and had a little chat with Blinky about it just so I could understand him and the project better and hopefully you will to.
R: What type of energy were you trying to present to the world with this EP?
B: Was mostly just trying to spread good vibes.
R: From the feedback that you’re getting from fans, do they feel this energy?
BB: It feels so, I am getting a lot of positive feedback and it makes me glad to be able to share my vibes on a project and have people resonate with it.. Makes me glad actually.
R: What message do you hope a listener gets from the entire EP after listening to it?
R: Being the only features, what would you say Maia Von Lekow, Shappa (formerly of Camp Mulla) and Sage added to the EP to make it complete?
About Maia Von Lekow:
Maia is a Kenyan musician who mixes up afro-jazz, folk and soul making it sound oh so good by adding Swahili onto it.
