Nachdem ihr Debüt 2019 in Belgien mit Gold ausgezeichnet wurde, hat das Hip-Hop-Duo heute eine neue Single veröffentlicht. Die Single ist der Startschuss für ihre Kampagne zur Ankündigung ihres zweiten Albums „no sleep in LA“, das im September erscheint. Die Tour zur Promotion des Albums beginnt mit einem großartigen Auftritt in der Werchter Boutique im Vorprogramm von Stromae und Gorillaz. Da ihr Album weltweit gute Kritiken erhalten hat und ihr Live-Ruf mit über 10.000 verkauften Tickets in den Benelux-Ländern, unternimmt das Duo neue Schritte, um in Europa zu expandieren.
Über den neuen Track sagen sie:
This song is definitely our most personal and honest one yet. A lot of the events that happened over the past years, since the release of our debut album in 2019, made us dig deeper than we ever did before. After releasing an album we worked on so restlessly, we had a hard time finding purpose again. Both in our own way, we went through really dark times. We decided that we needed a more direct approach in our songwriting, and ‚good day‘ is a first byproduct of that new way of working.
‚good day‘ is about being in a really dark place and dealing with it on your own while trying to maintain an untroubled image towards the outside world. We often don’t think about what people are going through on a daily basis, and might only see them on a ‚good day‘. We talk about some really personal things in the lyrics, including depression and loss. […]
The instrumentation of the track is purposely uplifting and tuneful, as we wanted to create a contrast between the meaning of the lyrics and the overall atmosphere of the track, as well as to translate the feeling of trying to lift yourself up while being so downhearted. The gospel influence in the vocal samples and chords additionally contributes to the uplifting sentiment we ultimately want people to take away from the track.
It kind of feels like a triumph being able to release this track and talk about these things. We feel like it’s important to break the taboos surrounding them and to be able to speak about it honestly and openly. […]
