BROCKHAMPTON LAMB

Setting aside the UK election circus for a minute, it's time to get really, really excited about something happening over in the US, which is the imminent release of Brockhampton's second mixtape Saturation. We've coveted album track 'Star' and there was much more eclectic goodness to be found in 'Face', 'Heat' and 'Gold'. A few hours away from the mixtape's complete reveal and Brockhampton are switching the usual rules up with 'Lamb', which won't be featured on Saturation. Another Kevin Abstract-directed video introduces us to this alternative track. Naturally introduced by the collective's unlikely mascot Roberto, 'Lamb' is a relatively simple track made up of laptop-built beats that possess a hint of hip-hop motivation and a sweet acoustic guitar melody. Yet, it becomes increasingly poignant with each repetition of the catchy refrain - "This ol' sky, if I die, I hope that I'm not random guy, someone put there will say, he is mine, he is mine." - HT
