' '
,: If Optimisme is about anything, then it's about freedom. It's :,
: been eight years since the members of Songhoy Blues were forced :
:' to flee their homes in northern Mali, forced out by a murderous ':
,: Jihadist regime that banned music. Since then, the band have :,
: made it their mission to spread a philosophy of freedom, making :
:' protest music that you can dance to û a joyous, booty-shaking ':
,: fuck you to oppressors everywhere. :,
: :
:' On their latest record, the band nail their colours to the mast ':
,: straight away. æBadala', the album's opening track and first :,
: single, is the story of an unarmed Malian woman fighting back :
:' against the patriarchy. Propelled by a riff Tom Morello would ':
,: be proud of, the song (whose title roughly translated into :,
: English as "I don't give a shit") is both a taster for a record :
:' and one of the most in-your-face calls for justice you're going ':
,: to hear in 2020. :,
: :
:' Mirroring this no-nonsense approach, Songhoy Blues have mostly ':
,: returned to the stripped-back production of their 2015 debut :,
: Music in Exile. By keeping the sound refreshingly :
:' straight-forward, the emphasis has been thrown on the band's ':
,: knack for hitting the riffs and finding a groove. All this means :,
: is that we get a record that punches as hard as an early AC/DC :
:' album, but is still as danceable as a Rick James cut. ':
,: :,
: It's a recipe that turns Optimisme into a pissed-off record that :
:' somehow still celebrates the sheer joy of just being alive. ':
,: And, let's be honest, we can all do with something like that :,
: right now. :
:' ':
