Summing Up: Loose Ends
Steven Bamidele

Indie-soul artist and producer Steven Bamidele brings us a 3-track single, “Summing Up: Loose Ends”.

“Reckoner” sees Steven Bamidele deliver a hauntingly beautiful cover of the Radiohead track, taken from the seminal ‘In Rainbows’ LP. “It’s my favourite album of all time,” Steven adds, “I was inspired by Lianne La Havas’ cover of “Weird Fishes” from the same album and decided to try my own”.
The stripped-back “Head Down (Acoustic)” highlights a moodier and more melancholic side to Steven’s personal songwriting.
These stand in contrast to “Kaleidoscope feat. Scarlett Fae (Fybe:One Remix)”; a rework which came about after the label mates met at Love Supreme festival, delivering a shuffling, melodic house remix for the earnest love song.

“Loose Ends” follows Steven Bamidele’s debut album ‘Summing Up’ and subsequent remixes, “Throw It All Away (Jamie 3:26 & Danou P Remix)” and, “No One Said (edbl remix)”. The album is a deeply personal project that has seen Steven using lyrical exploration as a form of self-therapy, often unpicking themes of racial identity, family, and self-reflection, it features acclaimed singles “Kaleidoscope feat. Scarlett Fae” and “Dark Sense Of Humor (Farfisa)”, as well as “Sitting In The Dark” and “Head Down”, each complemented by music videos that throw light on Steven’s narrative story.

The remixes, which garnered support from New Music Fix (BBC 6Music), Stereofox, and Just Dropped (Spotify), accompanied a string of tour dates in Bristol, Brighton and Dublin, with a standout headline performance at the iconic Pizza Express Live in Soho. Steven is on the road again this year, with live dates at Jazz:Refreshed @ 91 Living Room, London and A’DAM Tower, Amsterdam, alongside festival performances at Love Supreme, We Out Here and Shambala.
