Following the explosive launch of SZA co-signed, Gqom heater WASSA – Vv Pete announces GO DUMB, the next official single leading into her highly anticipated debut project VARVIE WORLD. Delivered with her iconic aggressive wit and interrogative lyricism, the Sydney rap star drills into the core of those trying to get under the skin, to “pause it, reverse it”, never backing down in the face of critics. It’s Vv Pete alchemy, harnessing negative energy and transforming it into the power that underscores a genuine confidence and strength. Her GO DUMB vocals flow over heavy bass trap production, pumping blood to the heart and giving us reason to sweat on dance foor. When the hook hits – Go dumb, baby go dumb – listeners have no choice but to release all inhibitions as they go dumb.
Vv Pete says, “When the Varvies hear ‘Go Dumb’ I want them to feel happy. I want them to feel at home when they listen to my songs. Release any sadness that you are going through, let go of your anxiety, and please remember to go dumb.”
Produced by regular collaborator UTILITY (Trackwork) and Paris-via-Atlanta-based artist Brodinski (Yeezus, 21 Savage), GO DUMB operates at the forefront of the mixtape’s unique intersection of club and rap. Taking sounds from non typical places like analog synths, and working them into the context of trap rhythms and subtones, the track is a unique enmeshing of regional sounds drawing from the artists’ localities, from Paris and Atlanta to Sydney’s new wave of club music.
Of the track, UTILITY remarks: “Working with Brodinski is the easiest thing ever. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time and was stoked when we started working together for this project because everything just flowed. I think the Varvies are going to go dumb. It’s the perfect Vv, quintessential Vv - party energy, it’s interrogative, aggressive.”
