: “We wrote this song in lockdown last year. We like to think of it as a poem and a tribute to Black lives, both in Britain as well as America. I think after everything that went on with George Floyd, it really hit a nerve. This song came as a natural response to the trauma that is usually felt by Black people. “Tone Deaf” is really about singing about those who are tone-deaf and don’t care about Black lives in the government and in society.
When you listen to someone like Massive Attack, which we really like, there’s a lot of influences of gospel and soul and jazz and stuff like that, but then it’s done over a really dirty bass and some drum. It gives it more of a British sound, rather than it being a more traditional sound. So, I feel like right now in the industry when you listen to, let’s say Jorja Smith, the music is still quintessentially British. That’s what I find.
