Shayk Selects: 8 Songs That Influenced ‘FORWARD’
One of my personal favourite projects of the year so far comes from Birmingham-born artist, producer and MC @_.shayk, with his breakthrough debut LP ‘FORWARD’.
Borrowing its title from Birmingham’s coat of arms, the album explores what it means to grow up in a post-industrial, multicultural city through Shayk’s eyes. From stories of pinging in a rave to waking up the next morning shaking off the hangxieties of the night before, Shayk offers one of the most original reflections on identity and young life in modern Britain. It’s a record where every detail feels considered and part of a wider story, almost like ‘A Grand Don’t Come for Free’ for Gen Z.
Having steadily built a reputation through his own releases, while also lending his production talents to artists including Jorja Smith and Jianbo, ‘FORWARD’ feels like the clearest statement yet of the sound Shayk is pushing.
Shayk is also a mad archivist, with a deep knowledge of grime, UK garage and the wider history of British underground music. It’s no surprise, then, that ‘FORWARD’ draws from such a rich pool of references while finding new ways to bring them together.
To celebrate the project, Shayk selects eight tracks that influenced the sound of ‘FORWARD’.
