THEY. POPS

As Father’s Day approaches, the R&B duo THEY. have released ‘Pops’ in order to commemorate the men who raised them. Opening with an acoustic guitar, THEY. sets the rhythm for this indie-R&B production courtesy of Dante Jones, while Drew Love handles the lyrics in that slick Drake-esque flow. The topic of father-son relationship is one that isn’t overly discussed in music, which is why songs like ‘Pops’ are so important, because listeners may find new found comfort in hearing about another’s experience of paternal figures. In addition to dropping a Father’s Day track, the Los Angeles pair have also teamed up with selected barbershops to give away free haircuts to Dads over the weekend. - Hannah Thacker
