Revolving around guitarist and songwriter Yinka Oyewole, music project Sabatta crafts a raw and individual sound with spiky guitar and an inimitable voice, fusing Jimi Hendrix, QOTSA and early Red Hot Chili Peppers. With musical influences ranging from Curtis Mayfield, Prince, Tupac, and Hendrix to Bad Brains, Thin Lizzy, Parliament / Funkadelic, and Black Sabbath, the south London-based artist continues to garner the interest of music lovers, critics, and music media platforms.
Check out the single ‘Take You There’ from the album ‘How to Get Even’. Discussing the track the artist shares, ‘It is an “extraterrestrial blues riff fest, a 2-minute instrumental cosmic slop with furious guitar antics. I wanted this album to be authentic from start to finish to the spirit of Sabatta. Anyone who’s seen Sabatta live knows there’ll be points in the show, sometimes at the start and elsewhere in the set where I just left to fly on the guitar – I improvise and basically let the spirit take me and let the guitar howl, growl, and scream – outside of song. This single is kind of like harnessing that energy for 2 mins. If you love this genre of music, you’ll love this tune!
Produced and mixed by Oyewole, this album was recorded by Alex Franklinos at Shrunken Heads Studio (King Krule, Ghostpoet, Songdog, Domino Records) and mastered at London’s EC Mastering (Sony, Universal, BBC).
