NEW ALBUM FOR JIMMY NEVIS Jimmy Nevis kicked off 2023 with a bang.

--

Not only did he release the single F.B.A , but he also finally dropped his brand new album, Things We Don't Talk About'.

In an interview with Cape Talk, the singer, who hails from Athlone, said he sees the value in creating safe spaces for difficult topics to be discussed.

As the title suggests, the acclaimed Pop and R&B star's latest album talks about topics he usually keeps to himself.

--

I usually keep all my confessions for the stage, but I thought I'd bring it into the studio this time. I've never really cared about what people thought of me, but I do feel a new wave of confidence and bravery coming through this era in my music. I hope it allows me to grow and dig even deeper into myself as an artist, he explains.

NOT AFRAID TO GET PERSONAL Just take the song F.B.A' as an example.

'F.B.A.' is a song that I wrote for myself it started off as a joke. I never thought I would have the balls to release it, but here we are. So, I guess this song represents bravery, artistry and just a newfound boldness in my journey thus far, Nevis says.

The song was inspired by my experience with someone I was dating, and then realising that I was kinda the problem as well. The song is a conceptual track that aims to put all fck boys in a support group where they can learn better skills and almost graduate into becoming better human beings. Even though the term fckboy' was created towards men, the term goes for any gendered person who adopts f*ck boy culture. I almost wrote this as a story in my head, but it's also just a comment on current dating culture. Sonically, the song has many influences from gospel to pop, and even has a live horn section in it which kinda makes it feel like a musical number, the singer added.

Previous Jimmy Nevis hits include Heartboxing, 7764, All About It, Balloon and Hey Jimmy.
