H2OPACK by Idris Lawal
H2OPACK contains two songs, ‘Bright Side of Life’ and ‘Tiki Taka’ - both recorded in 2022 at the end of the GIDI WATER recording sessions but initially lost due to a ransomware hack. In 2023, Idris was able to use AI platform, Fadr, to recover the two songs.
Both songs were produced by Grammy nominated, Toronto based French producer, Kyu and sees Idris tapping into the fast-rising Amapiano genre but with a soulful touch.
Bright Side of Life features RnB / Opera singer & Canada's Got Talent nominee, Christina Smith, who brings a soulful touch to the Amapiano sound of the song.
Tiki Taka juxtaposes a relationship with the futbol / soccer Tiki Taka style of play i.e. keeping possession of the ball instead of playing in isolation.
Both songs are meant to serve as a palette cleanser ahead of newer releases from Idris Lawal.
