London-based Alternative and Psychedelic Rock artist Sabatta has released new album How To Get Even via Blackfriars Entertainment. Two singles have included “Get Over Yourself” and ‘‘Get Your Shit Together“, described as “a wakeup call to the masses.” The album is out now digitally with a CD expected over the winter.

Led by guitarist and songwriter Yinka Oyewole, who was raised in Essex and is of Nigerian lineage, Sabatta embraces influences ranging from Curtis Mayfield, Prince, Tupac and Hendrix to Bad Brains, Thin Lizzy, Parliament / Funkadelic and Black Sabbath.

Produced and mixed by Oyewole, this album was recorded by Alex Franklinos at Shrunken Heads Studio(King Krule, Ghostpoet, Songdog, Domino Records) and mastered at London’s EC Mastering (Sony, Universal, BBC).

Regarding his experimentation, Oyewole says:

My voice I was born with, but when it comes to guitar I wanted my own tone. I can’t expose the recipe BUT when I play you definitely know it’s me.

He adds about the album:

While songs like ‘To Love Me Is To Know Me’, ‘Not Today’ and the title track ‘How To Get Even’ show a defiant and indomitable spirit, ‘Plugged In’ and ‘Here I Go Again’ respectively celebrate the importance of living in the moment and finding new love. Back-to-back tracks ‘Blood, Sweat and Tears’ and ‘Get Over Yourself’ are almost like a yin and yang to each other, the former acknowledging struggle and the latter warning not to take it all too personal. ‘Get Your Shit Together’ is a mantra we all need to hear sometimes, while ‘One Chance’ is a deeper, darker tale of survival. ‘Take You There’ is an extraterrestrial blues riff fest, a 2-minute instrumental cosmic slop with furious guitar antics.
