Nefer-T is a self-produced artist, saxophonist, and pianist from South London, UK. His music is genre-bending, tongue-in-cheek, and introspective.

‘Schadenfreude’ discusses the duality of seething jealousy and resentment v.s. using the emotion as momentum. The song is minimal, honest and catchy. It feels like the mood changes with each iteration of the chorus. The song was written during lockdown and captures the numb, robotic feeling of isolation (with a Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy reference).

The song is influenced by jazz, alt-hip-hop, synthpop, minimalist pop, indie and neo-soul music. It is quintessentially Nefer-T: funny and vibrant with contrasting moods.
