Steven Bamidele has been developing his craft for the majority of the 2010s. From beginning his career as Mirror Signal in 2013, through to dropping the moniker in 2017 to take on his real given name and mother’s Nigerian maiden name, Bamidele has consistently striven to make emotionally-driven, falsetto-laden music that resides happily on the fringes of soul and pop. Now based in Brighton since 2018, Steven spent 2019 playing as many shows as possible, breaking ground in Brighton and London.
Bamidele makes polished alt-r&b look easy on his red-hot new single, “Sitting in the Dark.” Fueled by a smooth and powerful vocal release, the track is tight and simultaneously full of feel, swarming with drum and bass chops, and lit up with tasteful spacing. “Sitting in The Dark” is a sonic dream from start to finish.
