Bgbgb’s artistic journey is quite interesting. An actor and a musician, the British creative adopts a holistic and eclectic outlook on everything he works on. His acting career reflects on his musical one, and vice versa. That’s quite an honest and authentic perspective on art in general, as Bg fully commits to everything he does. For instance, check out ‘Character Studies’, his latest EP. Packing five tracks, the record is a striking showcase of Bgbgb’s vocal boldness and keen songwriting allure.
Packing five hard-hitting hip hop pieces, ‘Character Studies’ also delves into the occasional dance influence (‘Mr Follow the Script’), giving the EP a certain eclecticism. Bgbgb’s sharp and angular rapping acts as a prominent anchor, capturing the listener’s attention from the first verse.
From a lyrical standpoint, ‘Character Studies’ adopts a rather intriguing and personal stance, unfolding the coming-of-age story of a boy becoming a fully realised adult male. All of this is seen through the Bgbgb’s very own eyes, and through the character that he’s played as an actor. It’s quite an intriguing idea, with the British talent fusing two art media into a hypnotic, meaningful continuum. As we are told, “The EP’s tracks offer a chronology of that journey in a zany way through these characters.”
