Kojey Radical and Swindle released a track to promote the Champions League Final for BT Sports. BT beamed the single, named ‘Time For A New Season’, across the UK as part of their Champions League Final coverage.
Swindle and Kojey Radical are a dynamic duo, and the promotional single demonstrated the breadth of their talent. Radical crafted a raft of football inspired lyrics across Swindle’s diverse instrumental. He also addresses the Corona-virus and the Black Lives Matter campaign, as he charted the course of the football season.
Swindle builds the track upon a beat of authentic trumpets, strings and drums. As a result, the track transitions from a triumphant blaze that echoes the ‘Escape to Victory‘ soundtrack, to a poignant, poetic, crescendo.
The track, and accompanying visual, have almost amassed 1 million views on Twitter, despite it only being released on Sunday. It is currently unclear whether he will release the single on Spotify, despite its popularity.
It is not the first time that Swindle and Kojey Radical have collaborated, to devastating effect. Swindle produced Kojey’s hit single Coming Home in 2018. Kojey repaid the favour by featuring prominently on Swindles 2019 project, No More Normal.
‘Time For A New Season’ encapsulates a tumultuous few months. Kojey Radical’s lyrical ability partners Swindles instrumental talent to create an emotional roller-coaster of a track. The single’s football framework allows for an easy journey that charts the years social upheaval, over the course of the season.
