Duckwrth returns with a new visual and this time it’s for “Ken Doll” featuring Tanerélle. The track is a reflective piece that sees the artist self-examining himself while balancing his eccentric ways in a relationship. The visual concept is expressive and features puppets and subtle motifs that run through the track. The song is lifted from his third studio album, All American F⭐️ckBoy.

The Pharcyde – “Timeless”

Mourning [A] Blkstar teamed up with Fatboi Sharif for “Let ‘Em Eat,” a solemn piece that is anchored on emotional pain, trauma and self-resilience. The resulting track is bolstered by rich melodic runs and rousing horns and crunchy drum grooves. The song also comes with a cinematic visual that captures the essence of urban life in South Africa.

McCabe – “Vicious”

South London experimental soul artist McCabe caught our ears and eyes with the visuals  of his new single “Vicious.” The track is a mid-tempo pop-soul piece that explores the concept of a breakup where both parties have to stay away from each other in order to grow. The overall vibe is bright but the theme is pretty solemn. The track’s accompanying music video was hhot using guerrilla-style film tactics, the video perfectly complements the track’s emotional duality. Shot at a funfair in Blackheath under the pretense of filming a documentary about London theme parks, the video features McCabe as a solitary figure amidst the colourful, energetic carnival atmosphere. The video’s director Sam Perry expands “Fairgrounds have a dazzling energy, but there’s always an undertone of danger and melancholy”

This is the first single from his debut LP Sunset Boulevard.
