The Zimbabwean artist, Mardeee, is an eclectic musician, unafraid of experimenting
and pushing boundaries with his music. Although his career is still in its nascent
stages, the expressive artist has dabbled in emo-trap, afro-swing and amapiano, but
at the heart of his artistry is love in different forms.
His debut single, Leave My Mind, sees Mardeee address unrequited love on an
emotive beat layered with hip-hop synths. A year later, Mardeee graced the
audience with his debut EP, Sounds Voyage Pt 1. A project that showcased his
versatility and eagerness to explore different genres of music.
On Overboard, Mardeee’s second single this year after the amapiano-themed Come
My Way, Mardeee stays true to his love-themed music, but this time, his subject
matter is toxicity in relationships.
Mardeee glides over the beat smoothly as he expresses his feelings of being
undervalued. The artist says, “Overboard is about being in a toxic relationship with a
partner who constantly disrespects you and treats you like a second option.”
Evidently, Mardeee artistry is developing as he grows, but one thing remains
certain; the singer-songwriter will always use his music as a channel to express the
ills and joys of loving, and Overboard is a fine example of that.
