TYSON redefines the landscape of modern soul. Balancing the introspection of new motherhood with a shedding of her late 20s uncertainties, the London artist has delivered an EP, ‘Chaos’, brimming with clarity and purpose.
The centerpiece, ‘Grunge’, is a jagged yet soulful departure that merges her signature vocal warmth with punk undertones, thanks in part to Wu-Lu’s raw instrumentation.
Co-written and produced by Oscar Scheller (Shygirl, PinkPantheress), the track distills the bittersweet end of an unrequited love into something both urgent and expansive. “It’s about closing a chapter”, TYSON explains, and the catharsis is palpable.
The ten tracks that make up ‘Chaos’ are built on the telepathic connection between TYSON and Scheller, her childhood friend and musical counterpart.
Born on the same day, their symbiotic songwriting expands on the dusky R&B and close-up modern soul of her previous releases, drilling deeper into homegrown bass culture – breakbeats, street soul and trip-hop – as well as reaching towards icy 1980s synthpop and spacious 2000s R&B.
