After teasing the single, sharing the instrumental to the track and giving fans the chance to hop on the Likkle Dots and Es produced beat, Headie One finally releases the anticipated single ‘Pound Signs’ along with a cinematic set of visuals. Going in with his catchy hook and jumpy flows Pound Signs opens up with an excerpt from a vintage interview with reggae icon Bob Marley. Elaborating on how financial wealth and mobility does not equate to true riches or personal fulfilment.
The accompany video directed by DAPS is inspired by Quentin Tarrantino’s 1992 classic heist film ‘Reservoir Dogs’.
‘Pound Signs’ is Headie’s first slice of new material since his show-stopping performance at the BRIT Awards last month. Among the most praised of the night for its social commentary on the negative and racist stereotyping of Drill music, Marcus Rashford and COVID-19 key workers.
