(BERWYN by Frank Fieber)
Today marks the release of Trinidad-born, Romford-raised rapper, singer, songwriter and producer BERWYN’S second full length project: “TAPE 2/FOMALHAUT” (via Columbia Records). Having recently set out his stall for 2021 with the release of three tracks and accompanying videos: ‘100,000,000’, ‘I’D RATHER DIE THAN BE DEPORTED’ and ‘RUBBER BANDS’ – Today he further expands on the triptych with his stunning new mixtape. Speaking further about the release BERWYN writes:
“‘Fomalhaut’ is a single star that appears in a part of the sky that’s largely empty of bright stars. For this reason, in skylore, Fomalhaut is often called the Lonely One or Solitary One. Tape 2/Fomalhaut is a room with many corners. That room is called loneliness, and the corners are all the lonely places you can find yourself in life. Even the unexpected ones. Made up from many factors that can all contribute to that loneliness.”
“TAPE 2/FOMALHAUT” comes 8 months after the release of BERWYN’S acclaimed debut mixtape (DEMOTAPE/VEGA) a period in which he has been anything but idle: in addition to fitting in a series of live shows in the short break between lockdowns, he’s spent his time writing, recording, and collaborating. The result is a body of work that further details his origin story – his spontaneous and immediate lyrics detail a long look over his shoulder at the harder times that have led up to this point, as well as an eye on the exciting prospects the future may hold.
