BLKLIST joins forces with Troy Kingi for third single ‘The Way We Were’ – Release Date 5 August

The wheel was officially moving in 1998 when The Gorillaz hit the mark as a virtual band, and in 2022, BLKLIST is looking to follow in those footsteps.

BLKLIST will release their third single The Way We Were on Friday August 5th. It features multi award-winning artist, ‘The Northland Treasure’ Troy Kingi, and is part of their plan to deliver 12 singles in 12 months.

When asked about the inspiration for the new single The Way We Were BLKLIST said, “We want to acknowledge the past, and to make the now beautiful.”

In the words of Troy Kingi: “No moment like the present, It might be unpleasant, You can’t see the beauty when you’re standing still”.

These lyrics shine a light on the feels of the recent pandemic, and reality did stand still for a long moment, but BLKLIST is steadfast, and ready to bring music that will move you forward – and in all directions.

BLKLIST, Aotearoa’s first virtual band, was birthed in 2020 by the group’s founding members. Each perform under their virtual pseudonyms: Besu (producer), Jasey Cones and Oroku (musicians).
