Iceboy Violet, Nueen - You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The Fire



British rapper and vocalist Iceboy Violet, alongside Spanish producer Nueen, offer a raw and emotionally charged exploration of love and loss in ‘You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The Fire,’ released under hyperdub. The album immerses listeners in an intimate soundscape, where the juxtaposition of lo-fi beats and raw, intimate lyrics creates a striking emotional depth. Each track unfolds like  a personal diary, unpacking a new chapter of vulnerability. The sound is often dense and foggy, yet each moment is rich with texture, allowing the listener to feel the emotional undercurrents beneath the music. At its core, You Said You'd Hold My Hand Through The Fire is a poignant and personal journey, capturing both the tenderness of new beginnings and the pain of endings.
