South London riser BINA. continues her upward trajectory with 'Zombies,' a sharp, shape-shifting new single that fuses groove with quiet defiance. Landing via Platoon, the track follows a run of momentum-building releases and a sold-out European tour, plus support slots with Little Simz and Hope Tala.
Produced by Jonathan Quarmby, 'Zombies' sees BINA. critique the system while soundtracking the feeling of being trapped within it. Taking aim at the monotony and contradictions of modern capitalism, she pairs tongue-in-cheek lyricism with a deceptively buoyant sound. Lush percussion and wiry guitar lines underpin BINA.’s soft but assured vocal, before the track mutates, growing grittier, more distorted, and increasingly confrontational as it unfolds.
“We know it’s all fake, but we keep doing it anyway,” she shrugs—a line that cuts to the core of the song’s tension between awareness and complicity.
It’s a natural evolution for an artist who has built her reputation on blurring boundaries. Drawing from alt-R&B, neo-soul, and indie influences, BINA. crafts music that feels both intimate and unpredictable, moving fluidly between delicacy and abrasion. Since her debut, 'Humble Abode,' through to her breakthrough project 'Chaos Is Her Name,' BINA. has established herself as a formidable talent to watch.
'Zombies' is out now via PLATOON.
