Reviews and Comments

Today, Hong Kong born, London-based artist bb sway (they/them) releases their poignant and ethereal EP ‘How Will I Get There?’ via 7476. A gentle exploration of their gender transition, the EP takes the listener on a magical, lullaby-like journey that merges diary-entry lyrics with soft, rhythmic and folk-adjacent guitar lines and beautiful harmonies. The title-track of the EP, ‘How Will I Get There?’, has a winsome groove to it that allows the listener to be swept up by bb sway and taken on a journey of self-discovery whilst previous single ‘Everything You’ve Always Wanted’ is a truly magical exploration of the bittersweet feelings of grief and joy that comes with periods of transition in life. |

bb sway explains: “It felt right to name the EP after this track because the whole project centres around the theme of transition / striving towards something. In different ways, each of the four tracks speaks to some desire for change, congruence, and alignment. 'How Will I Get There?' is about the journeys we go through, the desires we have, and the truths we confront along the way.” |

bb sway is following on from their ‘Pearl’ EP - released in 2021 to widespread acclaim and winning fans from Steve Lamacq on BBC 6 Music to Spotify editorial playlists such as All New Indie and New Music Friday. ‘Your Type,’ their recent collaboration with Basile Petit, came out last year receiving support from outlets like COLORS and DIY. bb sway has worked hard at establishing themself as one of the most exciting prospects to emerge in the last couple of years. With a playful yet meticulous approach to arrangement and lyrics that feel like hushed secrets from a friend, they are making good on their early promise. Driven by a desire to spread their message, create something relatable and help with emotional healing, bb sway creates music with a wide-eyed inquisitiveness and a genuine heart. |
