DBL A – Grabbing at my ankles

Manchester-based artist DBL A and Manchester-born producer, Yves Jones, link up to create DBL A’s latest single ‘Grabbing at my ankles’. Following a spell of lyric and flow-heavy releases, the artist marks a sonic shift with his latest single. Showcasing stripped-back flows, as well as more melodic vocals, DBL A experiments with new sounds on a soulful and ‘genre bending’ track. The song came about as a result of regular sessions between the two. Off the back of their 2022 UK garage release ‘smarties’ Yves Jones (one half of rising Manchester based duo ‘Fieves’) displays experimental vocal processing that works hand-in-hand with DBL A’s delivery, showing just how comfortable the two young creatives are working together. introspective lyrics from the north Yorkshire native paint a vivid picture over soulful samples and synths as he talks on topics of self-destructive behaviour and overcoming negativity from exterior forces. The 23-Year-old artist looks to take larger strides in the UK music scene as well as within his own artistic development. Releasing on 13/10/2023, DBL A, displays his range on a song that likens itself more towards a genre-mixed sound than that of his previous releases – One that any fans of Sampha or Vegyn should be sure to check out. Having already shown his talents at a Ballami radio cypher, alongside Manchester-based artist ‘Finnerz’, earlier in the year ‘DBL A’ is one to watch in the UK scene as the artist promises that there’s ‘much more to see from him’ before the year is done.
