St.Bedlam Falls Unapologetically Into Herself On New Single ‘Wazowksi’
Quirky, weird and undeniably talented, rapper St.Bedlam releases an unapologetic and empowering new single ‘Wazowksi,’ an anti-conformist anthem for the outcasts.
The term ‘Wazowski’ comes from Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. St.Bedlam continues to define her sound and continue her journey of self-discovery with ‘Wazowski’. The single is about having a strong sense that people are watching and judging your every move, and doing whatever you want regardless.
Created as a form of release, St.Bedlam describes how the hip hop scene in Australia can sometimes feel isolated for a queer woman.
“Being a queer woman in the Aussie hip hop scene, can sometimes feel like theres a mad target on your head, and as a result, insecurities start creeping up and you start doubting yourself. So the songs about being unashamedly yourself; authentic, bold, with all the weirdness and flaws included and absolutely rocking it with total confidence,”
“It’s a big double-middle-fingers-up to anyone judging and hating like “yeh mate, I’m going to be me and do what I love in spite of you. Keep hating. I’m going to keep doing me.” In that way, this song feels a lot like pure freedom,”
St.Bedlam has a refreshing interpretation of music laden with sauce-packed presence. Lyrical, emotive and oozing with quirkiness, the Sydney emcee is rapidly becoming recognised as one of the most unique artists Australia has to offer. Pairing insane lyrical ability with a devil-may-care demeanour, St.Bedlam takes listeners on a mind melding, mischievous journey of angst and imagination with every release. A natural performer, St.Bedlam is known to spit sparks with her electric performances, turning even the most sluggish crowd to a chanting, fist pumping, “living for the moment” machine.
St.Bedlam is working closely with South West Sydney producer HappyCamper, ensuring every future drop is laden with a raw and refined “signature sound”. ‘Wazowski will see this pocket rocket make her mark as one of the most talented and creative to ever touch mic in Australia.
