About This Track
Bladee's second track on Gluee uses the concept of a safehouse to describe a lifestyle of self-isolation. The song builds around a hypnotic, repeated chorus that transforms the title into a mantra, whilst the verses layer material excess and spiritual imagery in equal measure. References to designer labels and luxury goods sit alongside invocations of magic, protection and withdrawal from the world, creating a portrait of someone fortified against external threat. The production, courtesy of Yung Sherman and White Armor, keeps the track minimal and cold. Bladee's delivery remains measured throughout, letting the repetition and the weight of the lyrics do the work. There is no rush here, no grandstanding; instead, the song settles into a kind of protective numbness, the safehouse not as refuge but as a chosen state of being.
"safehouse" is a track by Bladee, from the album Gluee, released 20th January 2014. Full lyrics are available below.
