Speaking on the project, Bloody says “This combination of experimental beats and blunt lyrics is pretty much a time capsule for me. Goodbye!
Anger Management serves the perfect introduction to an artist with a singular creative and sonic vision. Featuring previously released singles How To Kill A Man, I Don’t Like You (which hit #1 on Nigeria’s Turntable Top Alternative / Dancehall Chart for two weeks) and her most recent release Escapism, the EP merges electronic, jersey club, Afrobeats, pop and Amapiano into something completely unique. Meanwhile her lyrics are subversive, sharp and witty, referencing everything from relationship frustrations to female empowerment to dissatisfaction with government corruption. With over 11M streams across just 3 releases since her debut 8 months ago, she’s been critically acclaimed by the likes of i-D, NME, The Fader, British Vogue, Gal-Dem, Clash, The Face, DORK, Mixtape Madness & Hypebeast, supported across BBC 1Xtra, was Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Month, charted in the Top #5 R&B Charts on Apple Music in five countries and entered the Top 100 (Turntable Charts) at #85. Along the way, she also released the track Wake Up which featured Rema and was included on the Black Panther Wakanda Forever soundtrack. In celebration of the film and West African music, Bloody Civilian was also heavily included in the Disney+ documentary Voices Rising: The Music of Wakanda Forever. Meanwhile, I Don’t Like You continues to gain momentum as a trending anthem. It has incited over 80K sound creations.
