“gbesoke” by Salute

"gbesoke” by Salute is Northern Transmissions Song of the Day

salute is back with new single “gbesoke”, featuring vocals from Nigerian-British indie-rock artist Peter Xan. The single marks their first new music of the year and follows their collaboration with Jessie Ware on “Heaven In Your Arms.” “gbesoke”, is the follow up to Salute’s debut album True Magic, which featured Disclosure, Rina Sawayama, piri, Empress Of, Karma Kid, Léa Sen, among others.

“Gbesoke originally came about during the making of my album, TRUE MAGIC, but it wasn’t until after its release that the production clicked for me” salute comments. “With Peter Xan and I both having Nigerian heritage in common, it’s sick to have his Yoruba roots shine through in the lyrics. “Gbesoke, lo le” is essentially a call to put your hands up and dance. We’re really stoked to be able to share this one with you.”

salute recently played their True Vision live show at this year’s Coachella, plus playing additional sets with Barry Can’t Swim and 2manydjs during weekend one, and alongside Sammy Virji, Interplanetary Criminal, Conducta, and Oppidan for a legendary b2b during weekend two. They will also be bringing True Vision to various festivals this summer including Parklife, All Points East, Down The Rabbit Hole, Creamfields, Lollapalooza and more.
