Blanco makes his first solo statement of 2025 with “Regime”, a powerful new single taken from his forthcoming EP Paradise on a Lifeboat, due out November 21st. Known as one of the UK’s sharpest lyricists, Blanco delivers a politically charged record layered over kuduro-inspired production, a nod to his Angolan roots and the revolutionary energy that shaped the genre.
Produced with a mix of bright guitar riffs and hard-hitting percussion, “Regime” balances infectious bounce with deep reflection. Blanco unpacks global conflict, misinformation, and the desensitisation of war with bars that hit just as hard as the beat: “Soldiers die without purpose — peace ain’t on Earth.”
“Regime” showcases a more introspective side of Blanco, proving once again why he stands among the UK’s most important rap storytellers.
