Weird Space is about mental health and coping mechanisms. It’s about isolation, anxiety, depression, numbness, coping and finally inclusion, being there for someone even though you experience same .

I wrote this while caught in what felt like an endless loop of numbness, partly triggered by lockdowns. I’m stuck in a weird space, vibrations off base, some shit you can’t change. Trying to connect my energy. A way for me to create some sort of awareness and my continued journey on putting a part of myself in my music.

I wrote Weird Space exactly a year ago, the first set of melodies that came to me after a long phase of numbness. I was dealing with losing one of the longest relationships I’ve ever had, locked down, my 9-5 on autopilot. The numbness was so loud it was the only thing I could listen to. I drove in silence, walked in silence. I took to editing videos and exhausted its thrill. Depression, anxiety, PTSD kicked in. I walked with my fists clenched. My own clothes spooked me. I pretty much talk about a space I’ve found myself in countless times and how I cope just like many of us have. I actually detached from this song a few months after I wrote it.

After months of this space I came across the song City Girl by Ari Pensmith & Jonah Christian, off a soulection playlist on apple music. It was the only thing I had connected to in months. I wrote the hook to Weird Space to that song and NiiQuaye made this badass beat!

Joochar

 

With Baby Baby, Diane Dddd proves she is a versatile, explorative, growing talent to be reckoned with. The song features Joochar, member of Kiff No Beat, arguably Côte d’Ivoire’s most influential hip hop supergroup, a connection facilitated by Monda head honcho and La Sunday resident Jeune Lio.

The pair is sure to surprise their fans, as the song shifts significantly from their usual hip hop-focused sound. Baby Baby is a love song, appropriately sung on top of a zouk beat, which ends with a captivating kompa guitar.

Diane Dddd already gave us a taste of her versatility on her “Juste Un Dimanche” debut EP, which came out February 14 this year, and already fused afro elements to her habitual hip hop sound. Baby Baby takes it a step further, showcasing how fast the next generation of ivorian artists are evolving.
