Junior Simba shares final track of single series, 'Take What I Give You'

"It's a nod to kindness, love, and all the softer things we need"

Released as the final instalment of a single series housed on Silver Bear Recordings, it taps into the thought-provoking, emotive side of his production skillset whilst weaving together influences from rhumba, kwaito and house music.

The track is a particular statement one from the Leeds-based musician, whose typically more club-focused tracks have been showcased across the summer, as he explains its more introspective approach:

“'Take What I Give You' is what it says in the name," explains Junior Simba. "Each time I have thought about what I want the track to mean, I always land back on the idea of being enough as you are—self-acceptance—and through that, being able to share your gifts, art, and moments with those you love, and the world.

"It rounds off a series of self-love releases—music that feels like taking time out and re-centering—musical therapy. It's a nod to kindness, love, and all the softer things we need. I think that’s what inspired the stripped-back, mellow elements around this amazing vocal.”
