Hardly The Same Snake is Johannesburg-born, Doncaster-raised artist Doya Beardmore’s (Skinny Pelembe) bold second album, marking his breakthrough in embracing his distinctive gravelly baritone and true artistic identity. Created between pre-pandemic times and spring 2021, the genre-blending record explores themes of family, religion, and life’s milestones with raw honesty. Moving beyond dream diaries, Skinny draws lyrical inspiration from everyday observations, solidifying his place as one of the UK’s most original and fearless voices.
