Vinyl Resting Place
Spoon - Transference - Steven Bamidele
In this episode of Vinyl Resting Place, we're joined by soulful singer-songwriter Steven Bamidele as he reflects on a formative album in his musical journey—Spoon’s Transference. Steven shares how the band’s raw sound and songwriting shaped his evolving taste and deepened his appreciation for music. We also talk about the journey of finding artistic identity, especially as a young Black man in the UK, and how those early influences continue to echo in his own work today.
Steven was incredibly open about his experiences as an emerging artist, discussing the highs, the challenges, and the realities of carving out space as a creative. It was a real pleasure to have him share his story with such honesty and insight.
He’s already having an exciting 2025—having just released his stunning new single “The Fool”, and with a number of amazing live shows on the horizon, it’s clear big things are on the way.
Go and give The Fool a spin you will not regret it! - https://youtu.be/U3L2Qgwfdug?si=_xWqoblHiQqP4S3f
