Songs of the year, number 6: Sabiyha - Lullaby (Lyric Video)

Released back in February, 'Lullaby' is a salute to Sabiyha's grandmother, who regularly looked after Sabiyha, her siblings, and their cousins on a regular basis when they were children. It's an impassioned track with a strong sense of narrative voice and character in which the stark instrumentation contrasts with crowd noise and appearances at the beginning and end of Sabiyha's grandmother, making it highly atmospheric as well as powerful.

A salute to Sabiyha's grandmother, and her role in bringing up Sabiyha, her siblings and cousins, this is a moving take on family tributes and female solidarity. The most recent track from an artist who has been making continuous strides over the past year, and who definitely bears watching.
