Later on in the album, Bundy moves away from his upbeat tracks and shifts to a lullaby, warm guitar-strung beat in ‘Wild’. ‘Next Of Kin’s lyricism and production range does not go unnoticed, “I’ve been in space, for a while, walking around looking at the clouds’ Bundy offers insight into his state of mind. ‘What’s Change’ explores themes of death, racism, losing friends and hope - it combines a trap and mellow beat.

When speaking about the album, Bundy states, “Next of Kin is like a coming-out album for me, really announcing my presence in the music industry. Even though it’s not my first project, this album it’s less about finding myself musically and more about realising my talent and pushing it to new heights. I titled the album Next of Kin as a nod to my late cousin Jimi Hendrix and as an announcement to the world that we’re not done yet.”
