Track of the Week: Bobby Brackins & Marc E. Bassy’s “Bad One”

Bobby Brackins & Marc E. Bassy’s “Bad One”

Bobby Brackins is back with another banger for his day-one fans.

This time, the Oakland, California native links up with fellow Bay Area recording artist Marc E. Bassy to unveil their newest song titled “Bad One.” The feel-good song adds to their previous collaborations, including “OB” and “Drunk & I’m Drunk.”

“Bad One” is written by Bobby Brackins and Gregory “Aldae” Hein, who wrote the Grammy award-winning mega-smash “Flowers” for Miley Cyrus. The record is produced by Ojivolta, who has multiple songs on Ye & Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures 1, which currently sits proudly at the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 albums charts. 

Bobby Brackins explains, “‘Bad One’ is a song I wanted to release because I feel it has a refreshing energy to it, the song slaps but also has a nostalgic vibe to it for people to enjoy while pregaming and/or after-partying with their favorite people. Or simply reflecting on a time where a memorable  experience was had.”

He adds, “What I want listeners to take away from the song is a sense of auditory Euphoria, and to have their endorphins stimulated, it’s definitely not to promote abusing substances, rather get high off life, the music, the ambiance, love/lust, chemistry, and overall vibe of a magical time being had.”

Bobby Brackins is best known for his writing contributions on Justin Bieber’s “I’m The One”, Chris Brown’s “Loyal,” “Tinashe’s “2 On”,” and many more. Marc E. Bassy is a multifaceted singer who boasts his own catalog of hits such as “You and Me” and “Morning.” 

“Bad One” explores a nostalgic vibe of partying or having a wild night with the person you are crushing on. It’s meant to have listeners reminisce on a time where they let loose and found love or lust within the occasion. The song feels like a page from your personal journal that you’ll always be connected to through euphoria and nostalgia.

After hearing his fans beg and plead for the past two years, Marc E. Bassy has finally brought his Man Makes Plans project to streaming platforms. Landing on Friday (December 23), it consists of 12 unique titles – all featureless – and reminds the world exactly why the 35-year-old deserves all the flowers.

When originally sharing his work on April 3rd of 2020, he took to Twitter to share a SoundCloud link. “‘Man Makes Plans’ – a little collection I’ve been sitting on [that] the team said I have to give to the people.”

Immediately, comments came flooding in, begging Bassy to add the songs to Spotify. All this time later, the world has finally gotten its wish.

He previously teased the exciting news earlier this month in another tweet. “Ask and you shall receive! I’m putting out a B-sides project of songs – previously only available on SoundCloud – on all streaming platforms,” the singer wrote.

“When putting out an album, I always try to make it the most cohesive experience for listeners. ‘Man Makes Plans’ is a collection of some of my favourite pieces that ended up on the editing room floor. They deserve better.”

Additionally, Bassy let readers know that he’ll be “re-releasing some discontinued merch” and announcing a “special contest” in the near future.
