South African artist Petite Noir has proven to be one of a kind. His music sound like nothing you heard before — eccentric, wholesome and truly beautiful. Blame Fire, a powerful track from the artist mini-album La Manson Noir, is no disappointment. Full of purpose and positivity Petite Noir masters to merge deeply personal introspective side of the song with bold political statements. “Think I was about like seventeen/Underrated, understated, never seen/Big mind, small town, man I had to leave/Charcoal skinned kid flame gasoline […] Yeah, we need to realize that our skin is a blessing/Fuck a curse”
Talking to The FADER Petite Noir said “it is a word that I created to express the way one feels when you have been down for so long but the drive and fire is still inside of you. You are thankful! It’s all about channeling the revenge energy.”
“The track is a personal journey into my life and experiences. This is the first time in my career that I have ever been this honest with my art/music. Being an immigrant and being forced to mobilise has taught me how to navigate this current reality using the gifts that I have been given to me. To turn my unique experience of exile into something bigger than myself.”
