With his philosophy of anything goes, Backini has traded the well trodden route of sampling funk 45's in favour of slipping between the sheets with the likes of the Andrews Sisters.
Weaving an elegant web of lush samples and sonics Backini manages to evoke images of 1940's big bands, 50's bebop and 70's pop divas.The feelgood factor of his work is never far away, but there's a distinctly ironic darkness to the overall vibe.
Backini has developed the sample-based sound of his debut album to incorporate rappers, guitarists, and the proverbial kitsch-in-sink, but keeps to his catchy, hummable manifesto.

Do not send them away
The opening lines of Backini's song Thread #2 are taken from a verse in the Bible (Matthew 19:14) where Jesus is speaking to his disciples and telling them to let the children come to him as he does not want them to be turned away. The lyrics carry a message of love and acceptance, encouraging listeners to embrace the innocence and naivety of childhood and protect it from the harshness of the world.
Throughout the rest of the song, Backini alludes to the struggles of growing up and the difficulties of navigating adulthood. He also touches upon themes of loss and loneliness, reflecting on how burdensome those emotions can be. Despite this, he continues to call upon listeners to hold onto the positivity of their youth and approach life with the joy and enthusiasm of a child.
Overall, the song's powerful message is one of hope, resilience, and the importance of retaining the wonder and curiosity of childhood as we move through adulthood.
