We love Black Belt Eagle Scout here at Spinning Platters. She’s released 3 albums that balance between the gentle and the loud in ways that would do Neil Young very proud. She’s unafraid to push boundaries as an artist, but “Leftovers” was probably the last thing I was expecting. It’s a bright and sunny song that borders on reggae. It’s a hopeful, joyful piece. Her collaborator on this song, Mato Wayuhi, and effortless singing/rapping interplay work nicely with BBES’ delicate tones.
Black Belt Eagle Scout is hitting the road, doing a short run of West Coast shows alongside the legendary Julie Doiron, before heading East with Wayuhi. Tickets and the schedule can be found here.
