Re-crafting an instant anthem that rightfully boasts close to a hundred thousand streams on Spotify alone, organic piano and catchy, high-energy bars unite, for the funk-infused and infectious Never Drinking Again.
Bringing together the talents of Clerkenwell and Grafezzy, the live musicianship and relentless pace of Never Drinking Again captures attention from the outset, and increasingly envelops its listener in these cascading riffs, rhythms and reflections on the weight of hindsight and intoxicated mistakes.
Relatable and an unignorable ear-worm all at once, the style of Never Drinking Again is quick to impress, the live jazz drum sounds brilliant in between vocal moments – as do the strings and keys throughout. Then we get this upfront voice, faultless in flow as it masters the space throughout an increasingly chaotic yet uplifting arrangement.
Aptly addictive and an easy anthem to light up the day, contrasting outright negative reflections with a boldly bright set-up and passionate performance, Never Drinking Again is easily one of the most memorable Hip Hop tracks to emerge of late, and introduces both Clerkenwell and Grafezzy on a definite high.
