Gotta Kick It (Outsider Music) - Giack Bazz

Outsider Music (Gotta Kick It) is Giack Bazz's latest single. Arranged and produced by Deborah Verrascina and Sebastian Papa (The Royalty Instrumentality Project) provides the drums. It's about finding it hard to give up on things. The title hints at the subgenre of misunderstood artists the likes of Daniel Johnston and Don Van Vliet.Giack Bazz is an explosive, relentless multi-instrumentalist songwriter based in London.The artist started igniting stages with his painfully honest lyrics and his screaming telecaster in 2015. He has since released three solo albums that were critically acclaimed (Blowup magazine, Decade, Rumore).Released: 4th March, 2022
