Gold Fang Reclaims His Voice on “Facelift” Featuring 1st Klase


Trinidadian-Australian artist Gold Fang partners with 1st Klase for “Facelift”—a raw, rhythmic return.
Reggae and dancehall artist Gold Fang launches into 2025 with the commanding new single “Facelift,” a collaboration with Trinidadian producer 1st Klase. Written during a London trip funded by Music Australia, “Facelift” sees the artist blend honest introspection with deep Caribbean grooves.
Laced with hard-earned wisdom, Gold Fang reflects on navigating industry expectations: “Judgement. Criticism…Facelift is taking what we deserve.” That message is elevated through 1st Klase’s genre-defining production and a cinematic video filmed in Trinidad by Rael Luvi.
Since debuting with SMOOVE KILLA, Gold Fang has become a festival fixture and critical favorite. From Splendour in the Grass to SXSW Sydney, he’s built a live reputation as electric as his recordings. Coverage from NME, Acclaim, and triple j has recognized his sound as both “fresh” and “singular.”
“Facelift” captures everything that sets Gold Fang apart: cultural pride, lyrical candor, and global ambition.
