Renowned Irish rapper Shafto combines with luscious and powerful Tasmanian singer Molly O’Brien for a new empowering and motivational track, Someone. The song is all about helping you get out of a slump, with ideals of motivation and upliftment forming front and centre of Shafto’s conception here. It’s innately warm, from the lyricism that’s written to inspire and the soundscape that pushes you to feel the good all around you. ‘Someone’ almost feels like a song from a bygone era, particularly the naïve and feel-good positivity that was awash in pop and hip-hop of the earl 00s.
Delivery that’s hard-hitting and rhymes that are down to earth but strongly resonant combined with O’Brien’s luscious and flowery vocals make for an experience that’s perfect for when you’re feeling down in the dumps. Sometimes, a jolt of motivation is all you need.
