Finally after a long hiatus, London’s unflinching rock rebel Yinka is back with a new Sabatta album. It’s all raw, it’s all groove, it’s all heavy riffs and it’s all cutting edge!
Some may call Sabatta’s style “grunge soul” or “funk-punk rock”, but it is also very much “alternative rock” in the sense that it rests on raw-as-f**k riffs with thought-police proof lyrics that provide a view alternative to the conventional wisdom.
On How To Get Even the most potent of these disparate elements are fused into a seamless whole. Here we have super dirty riffs, grooves that would make both Black Sabbath and George Clinton proud, lyrics with the vitriol and vulnerability of Tupac, and the wit of Elvis Costello.
