Swedish-Albanian artist W8 is making a comeback with his new single 'Pinnochio', set to release on May 30, 2025. This marks his return to the music scene after nearly a year-long hiatus and his ongoing collaboration with Def Jam Recordings Sweden. W8’s latest work represents a shift in his musical style, moving away from his trap roots into a fresh sound that blends elements of UK-influenced hip hop and afrobeat.
The single features a playful sound characterized by eerie organ melodies and lighthearted lyrics. W8 describes the music as a mix of "fresh and dirty drum and bass," aiming to create an engaging, dance-inducing vibe for listeners. The quirky nature of 'Pinnochio', along with its catchy chorus, reflects a party atmosphere, embodying themes of fun and perhaps overindulgence.
Starting his career in the trap genre, W8 has been known for his unique storytelling ability, drawing listeners in with personal yet melancholic lyrics. Notably, he began his journey as the first artist signed to Jireel's label 'Records By MOTY', and his previous hit, 'Andas', has surpassed one million streams. This new single, along with W8’s planned creative visuals— including cinematic trailers and unique masks that his mother has knitted—serves as a testament to his artistic vision, aiming for a transcendent effect through both his music and its presentation.
