Freak Slug has teamed up with down-tempo beat-maker niquo for their new single 'Care'. Manchester/ London artist Freak Slug makes bedroom pop that sounds something like if The Cocteau Twins did a collaboration with Solange (which would obviously be quite something). Her dreamy indie guitar lines often marry to deliciously poppy, R&B vocal melodies. The new single from Freak Slug and niquo sees major 7 guitar chords strummed through a glaze of chorus. A hip-hop-esque beat joins, and Freak Slug's vocals naturally lean into an easy soulfulness, singing poignant lines that make you feel as if she's mourning over past love: 'I don't think, you'll ever know me, I think it's weird, when all those years go by, I used to know you, wish that you could give me time'. 'I don't think I'll ever hold you, like I want, the way I see it in my dreams...'. 'Care' is the perfect slice of indie hip-hop for you to have with your tea. -Ellie Rose-Davies
