Dean Blunt’s Babyfather Project Drops Gliding “Skywalker Freestyle”

Babyfather, Dean Blunt's political brainchild, has repurposed an ethereal moment from "Wuthering Heights"—British pop-outsider Kate Bush's most famous song—into a smooth-talking rap ballad.

"Skywalker Freestyle," is an aptly named track due to its cloud like lightness. With a subtle echoing vocal-effect, Blunt matches the mellow instrumental tone with vaguely heartening lyrics like, "If it feels good make it two times." Although it maintains the misty quality typical of Blunt's self-named tracks, it's significantly brighter than his most recent standalone, the menacing "49", released a few days ago.
