CAUTIOUS CLAY BLOOD TYPE

“To the love of my life, I wish I was stable” croons Cautious Clay over a dexterous palette of trap beats, hand drum taps, tambourine rattles and electronic guitar notes in new single ‘Blood Type’. That absence of stability that CC so longs for is reflected in the song’s structure, which goes from minimalist trap and reserved, pensive lyrics to an explosive chorus of intense beats, jangly keys and unleashed emotion. It's here that the Brooklyn-via-Washington D.C. is transformed from Astronomyy composure to Lewis Del Mar fire, with his own addition of soulful vocal inclines that turn hymnal with the gospel-style backing voices. ‘Blood Type’ is so intricate, which is fitting for the display of complex emotions that the listener is taken on a journey through. - HT
