Shamir – ‘I Know It’s A Good Thing’

‘If It Wasn’t True’ from 19 year-old “musician, comedian, singer, rapper, twerker, chef, writer, filmmaker, tumblr, skinny fat ass” Shamir is one of my favourite songs of the year so far, a DFA disco style number.

News came this week that Shamir’s debut EP is coming on June 11th. It’s called Northtown and will be released on Godmode on vinyl, digital and cassette. New track ‘I Know It’s A Good Thing’ is taken from that EP and takes a different tack, a piano-soul shaker with Shamir’s falsetto running things.
