RnB/Hip Hop | Tuesday 24th June 2014 | MaximeArst
Endorsed by Jeremy Corbyn, The Campaign of Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and the Stop the War Coalition (STW); the song ‘Just Wondering’ is lyrically comprised of a total of forty questions, all surrounding war.
“Standing at the door of the one hundred year anniversary of WWI, and with the current turmoil in Iraq magnifying to such an intense degree, it might well be an appropriate time to raise these questions and collectively take a second look at the grim reality of war” – Potent Whisper
In addition to collaborations with the likes of UK legend’s Rebel MC and Alabama3, the Ex-BRIT School student has previously found himself in the political arena, releasing songs in solidarity with Iran and Palestine in 2013.Potent Whisper now joins forces with ex-soldier Joe Glenton who famously refused to serve a second tour in Afghanistan on legal and moral grounds, later imprisoned for going absent without leave.

Joe Glenton has since gone on to write the critically acclaimed book ‘Soldiers Box’ which won the Bread and Roses Award earlier this year. “Joe is a hero, because he didn’t fight” It has been revealed that the song, taken from Potent Whispers’ forthcoming ‘Love: The Mixtape’ will be quickly followed by a short film ‘Just Saying’ in which people answer the questions in the song.
