Hidden Renaissance captivate with fresh album ‘BA SING SE’
Hidden Renaissance have dropped off a new album titled BA SING SE. With its community-first, open approach to creation, Hidden Renaissance transcends the bounds of a record label or company. It is, instead, a revolutionary community that makes and releases music together as a shared creative experience. Their latest offering BA SING SE marks their largest collaboration ever, with over 200 artists competing to appear on it, crafting more than 300 songs in a 2 month period in the process. The final result is a curated, multi-genre ode and homage to the raw skill and diversity of the underground.
BA SING SE is chock full of soulful, lo-fi hip-hop cuts that blend various influences engagingly. Songs like the elegant, minimalistic “Electric Church” and the emotive “1996 (In the Heart, In the Mind)” open the project with much flavor. They also demonstrate versatility with the electro undertones of “firstsaveyourself” and the wobbly bass of “Conditioner”. “FIND LOVE <3” is a grooving, balmy song that makes for a buttery smooth, laid-back listen, while “There’s a way!” is a clever closer that brings in wry humor and relatable introspection.
Of BA SING SE, Hidden Renaissance vocalist OJ Mountain says, “Hidden Renaissance isn’t a group, or even a collective- it’s an idea. And this idea has allowed me to progress as an artist more than I ever could have imagined. It’s infinitely fulfilling to be able to share an album that is as complete and as passionately crafted as this one. It fundamentally embodies the Hidden Renaissance idea”.
