![](/wp-content/themes/yootheme/cache/c5/1000-Beasts-c5acaed4.jpeg)
1000 Beasts is excited to announce the upcoming release of the fifth single from his highly anticipated sophomore album on June 30th. “Sun Valley Drive” is a bilingual track combining English and Yoruba, featuring the exceptional vocals of Zeenie Summers Sà.Rù.Mí, an Irish/Nigerian artist. “Sun Valley Drive” delivers a vibrant indie-soul sound, infused with lively drums, captivating group vocals, and an irresistible hook. Picture a fusion of Jungle, Fatoumata Diawara, Fela Kuti and L’Imperatrice, creating an invigorating summer vibe.
The concept behind 1000 Beasts is simple. One producer who writes & collaborates with different artists (the “beasts”) on each track to create music greater than the sum of its parts.
Zeenie Summers Sà.Rù.Mí is a Yoruba-Irish musician, storyteller, and workshop facilitator who effortlessly blends diverse West African influences within a contemporary soul/pop framework. With a musical palette consisting of groove-laden guitars, textured synths, and 808-inspired beats, Zeenie creates a unique sonic landscape. Her music is deeply influenced by her multicultural upbringing in Nigeria, Ghana, and Ireland.
“This was the very first track from this upcoming album that I finished. I remember it was a beautiful early summer day in 2022 and I took a trip up to write some music with Zeenie in Galway, the result was Sun Valley Drive – she was such a bundle of joy to work with and it was incredibly inspiring watching her pull detailed melodies and lyrics from out of apparent thin air” – 1000 Beasts
“Sun Valley Drive” is available on all major streaming platforms now.
