    Musician / Producer / Filmmaker Chris Finguz (Bare Knuckle Soul, UKJs, Afropean) and solo artist Aziza first met at Sheffield’s notorious Kabal club nights and the home of northern Klang. Lockdown brought an opportunity to explore the possibilities of a unique collaboration.

    "After a year in some warehouse somewhere in South Klangshire,
    Aziza & Finguz break free of the isms
    Launching vocal volleys and misfiring rhythms
    And inherited tones of futurist visions
    Digging trenches from Clean Grit and Kick Drums gone missing
    Scattering ghost notes into fusion and fission
    Seeking out the path of most resistance
    To challenge the limits of this Gritish existence
    Bait Gritain, an island so deeply in debt
    To the enriching cultures it tries to reject
    We don’t give a •••• about what it expects
    Tear off the shackles that keep us in check

    Rip out the plastic, turn off the greed
    Abandon the alterations you think your soul needs
    Abandon the leaders who only know how to bleed you
    Open the pages and write history new.”

about

Already picking up early plays from Toddla T (featured on DJ Target's show (1XTRA) and Ennio Styles (Triple R 102.7FM / Melbourne).

Aziza & Finguz performed some early ideas at a Sounds Like This club night held in Sheffield just before the first lockdown. So, it felt fitting that when they were able to get in the studio and work on these ideas that they became the opening act to appear on the new Sounds Like This record label.

lyrics

I didn't want to write another love song
But if I am, it's gonna be different to the last one
Cause you're here, then you're gone
If I was waiting on you I'd have no-one
That's why I keep my options open (Repeats)

As time goes on
They knock themselves out one by one
I don't have to say I'm done
And end up hurting no-one's son
They do it to themselves
But it don't put me through hell
I just go to someone else

Should have thought about the consequences of your actions
Living for today and not tomorrow's satisfactions
I'm a take you out of it, another subtraction
Like how I tap my card you're just a void transaction

As time goes on
They knock themselves out one by one
I don't have to say I'm done
And end up hurting no-one's son
They do it to themselves
But it don't put me through hell
I just go to someone else

I didn't want to write another love song
But if I am, it's gonna be different to the last one
Cause you're here, then you're gone
If I was waiting on you I'd have no-one
That's why I keep my options open

One by One
One by One
One by One
One by One

I would be all alone
If I waited on you
You did this to yourself
Can't blame no one else

I didn't want to write another love song
But if I am, it's gonna be different to the last one
Cause you're here, then you're gone
If I was waiting on you I'd have no-one
That's why I keep my options open (Repeats)

Should have thought about the consequences of your action
Living for today and not tomorrow's satisfactions
I'm a take you out of it, another subtraction
Like how I tap my card you're just a void transaction (Repeats)
