Artist: Atiba
Track: Hey Lady
Producer: The Flyntstones
Album: Untitled (TBD)

Recent Slip-N-Slide signee and Booth newcomer Atiba channels a little Jerry Lewis on his new single, which finds him shouting, “Hey Lady!” to a woman he's been admiring from afar. Fortunately for listeners, the record's both shorter than one of the comedian's Labor Day telethons and a lot more fun to listen to. From the ridiculously bouncy bassline that drives The Flyntstones' production to Atiba's singsong cadence as he slips unpredictably in and out of his native accent, this record is nothing if not unique, and while some might not dig its lighthearted, slightly goofy vibe, I'm pretty sure it'll be running through my head for the next couple of days. Only recently signed to Slip-N-Slide, Atiba's forthcoming debut album has yet to receive a title or release date, but that may change if other listeners find Hey Lady as infectious as I did.
