about

ÌFÉ returns with explosive new track FAKE BLOOD – inspired in part by Adam Curtis’ HyperNormalization and America’s reaction to the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.

“As I watched politicians refuse to acknowledge what had happened in Vegas and disassociate themselves with it's causes, I felt that they and the public at large were behaving as if what had happened hadn't actually happened. That the blood on the ground then in Las Vegas, later in Ferguson, and today in Palestine, couldn't be real – that it must be FAKE BLOOD.”

Opening with a riddle, the song teases out a Taboo style description of the “truth” while taking aim at colonialism, pro-police sentiment, and Israeli occupation: “Black Lives people hear me, All Lives people fear me, stand strong when you’re near me". Under signature ÌFÉ tuned-kick/bass thuds and piercing synth stabs the chorus refrain chants “Que es lo que pasa aquí? (what is going on here?) with an almost child-like simplicity.

“Gun violence in the US is so rampant and mass shootings so common that the reaction to each new shooting seems somehow more bizarre and absurd than the last. The reason it feels so Kafkaesque is because the solution to the problem is so obvious - yet it's equally obvious that nothing will change because the discourse put forth by those in power in response to these events is completely devoid of any real honesty or sense of personal responsibility for the horrors we have created past and present.
American myth is what enables people where I come from to reconcile the idea of who we want to think we are with the truth about what we actually do or allow to happen.”

lyrics

FAKE BLOOD feat.Robby The Lord
Written By Otura Mun aka ÌFÉ, Robby The Lord

San Juan people hear me
Gaza people hear me
Stand strong when you're near me
The devil paints a lovely lie
We will surely buy
Black Lives people hear me
All Lives people fear me
Stand strong when you're near me
The devil paints a lovely lie
Must we always buy?

Verse One..

Fake blood, Fake lives, Fake ends
Fake innocence, Fake drama, Fake friends
Fake fives, Fake tens,
Fake founding fathers, Fake now, Fake then.

Fake bills, Fake change, Fake sense,
Fake politicians, Fake pounds, Fake pense.
As the country stares,
Fake conversation, Fake table, Fake chairs

Fake hopes, Fake prayers,
Fake indecision, Fake talk, Fake cares
Fake diamonds, Fake pearls,
The system wants to gas light the whole damn world!

Verse 2....

Fake blonds, Fake ease
Fake freedom fighters, Fake shots, Fake deeds
Fake wants, Fake needs
Fake moral compass, Fake gods, Fake creeds

Fake gear, Fake guns, Fake slugs
Fake family values, Fake laughs, Fake hugs
Fake smiles, Fake cops, Fake thugs
Fake mental illness, Fake cures, Fake drugs

Fake tears, Fake blood
Fake climate action, Fake peace, Fake love
As the system implodes,
if you want to hang on we have got to let go!
