SirBastien presents his latest EP, Jungle Flakes, a lively collection of 7 songs that creatively blend indie guitar sounds, upbeat electronic beats, and vibrant Afrobeat rhythms, designed to energize your day. Released on May 2nd, this EP thoughtfully examines themes of change, the experience of moving far from home, and the excitement of new beginnings, reflecting SirBastien’s own journey as he embraces a fresh phase of life.
This project showcases SirBastien’s talents as he produced, mixed, and mastered each track, with collaborative efforts alongside Laetho on songs like Your Name, Talking In Signs, and Eye Spy, in addition to a reworked version of The Whistle Song. The contributions from guest singers Nanette (Your Name) and RubyyXo (The Whistle Song) enhance the project’s depth, while the vibrant lead track “Calogero” accompanies earlier favorites “Talking In Signs” and “The Whistle Song” as key highlights.
The lyrics reflect meaningful life transitions, yet the music maintains a cheerful and positive energy. SirBastien likens the experience to “a bowl of cereal that really wakes you up.” Pieces such as the amapiano-influenced Eye Spy and the uplifting Your Name explore a mix of alt-pop, indie R&B, and Afro-electronic styles, all unified by catchy drums and bright synths.
Drawing from his Nigerian and French heritage, and fluent in both languages, SirBastien integrates his multicultural background into sounds influenced by a diverse range of global music. Through Jungle Flakes, he aspires to engage with a broader audience while remaining committed to his hands-on creative process and dedication to sound exploration. This EP represents an exciting step forward in his artistic journey, aiming to foster connection and joy through music.
