BERWYN RETURNS WITH BRAND NEW TRACK‘PATH TO SATISFACTION’
ANNOUNCES UK TOUR FOR 2023
2022 has been a transformative year for BERWYN. The Trinidad-born, Romford-raised rapper, singer, songwriter and producer shot to fame channelling the raw and authentic experiences of London life into his music – a process that has awarded him widespread acclaim including a top three finish in the BBC’s ‘Sound Of’ poll, a Mercury Prize shortlist and an NME Award – but he still felt something was missing.
This year however, BERWYN finally returned to his Trinidadian birthplace following years of passport and visa issues that had shadowed him since arriving in the UK at the age of nine. After years away, he was reunited with his family – including his father and grandparents – during a genuinely enlightening trip. Upon his return, a tidal wave of memories flooded back, from the sight of the traditional pastime ‘pitching marbles’, the smell of smoked herring and the sound of local bird song – a sound his father used to obsessively record on a walkman and playback throughout his childhood. “I’ve now learnt that a man can have two homes and his body will know the difference”, he states.
Today, BERWYN returns with “Path To Satisfaction”, his first new music of 2022. Looser, warmer and more expansive than his previous DEMOTAPE/VEGA and TAPE2/FOMALHAUT mixtapes, it’s a track that sees BERWYN looking back at the harder edges of his previous life and considering the trappings of what the future could hold. Launching as a Hottest Record on BBC Radio One, the single is accompanied by a LOOSE-directed music video that was shot during the Trinidad trip. Speaking further about the track BERWYN writes:
“Path To Satisfaction recognises the change that comes with growth. It acknowledges the path towards realising my identity and anticipates the future of Berwyn, that a man can have two homes and his body will know the difference.”
Alongside the announcement of ‘Path to Satisfaction’, BERWYN will make his much anticipated return to stages across the UK in March 2023 – The tour will include shows in Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Brighton and culminating in his largest show to date at London’s Koko. Pre-sale tickets are now on sale with general sale opening on Friday 28th at 10am here. Full Dates on the tour poster below.
