On Caféradio, Snny blends the pioneering music of the Ivory Coast, hyper-pop, and collaborators in his current home of Reyjkavik to craft an EP inspired by Japanese jazz listening cafes. Few musicians could synthesize these diverse influences, but the artist born Aziz Bouraima has a natural chameleonic quality that makes merging it all natural and effortless.
“I wanted to create something that was concise, but still felt big enough to represent my ambitions as a musician,” he says.
The project is his first since 2022’s Water is Styled Honey, and something Snny considers a “reintroduction” in this warp speed musical climate. It’s a powerful one, with moving ties to his personal history being born in the Ivory Coast, moving to the Boston area, and settling a few years back in Reyjkavik, Iceland. Caféradio includes an infectious afrobeats track (“Chop”) where Snny sings for the first time in Yoruba, his father’s native language and interludes delivered in Portuguese drawing on his adolescence in the Brazilian-heavy town of Framingham, Massachusetts. Snny has a velvet smooth voice and skates atop tracks like “Before You Riot” and “Vanguard” that incorporate components of modern R&B.
“Whenever I create, I'm always trying to build a bridge to different things, cultures, ideas, because at my core, that’s the type of artist that I am,” he says. “I don't think about it too much, it just happens naturally.”
