mesmerizing track tackles struggles with anxiety: “you can’t put out this fire” by nigerian-londoner steven bamidele

Steven Bamidele is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter and producer from London. As a person of Nigerian ancestry, Bamidele’s experience with identity in his hometown has played a major part in his struggles with mental health and anxiety, which he explores in the beautiful new track, “You Can’t Put Out This Fire.”

With lyrics like “think about it for days after / but the rest is out of my hands,” the stripped down production and soul-stirring falsetto takes you on a haunting journey anyone who has struggled with anxiety will understand.

“It’s about my struggle with anxiety, which stems from being a non-white person in a largely white part of the world,” Bamidele explained.
