The inseparable pair of Loyle Carner and Tom Misch have stepped up to the collaborative plate once again on Carner’s new track ‘Damselfly’. It’s a jazzy shuffle featuring Misch’s trademark J Dilla-esque lo-fi frets and the rapper’s natural, easy-going flow. Going back to back with Misch’s floating croon and Carner’s no-nonsense verses, ‘Damselfly’ is typically reflective. Set in the chill of “these days”, this narrative speaks of longing for a past affair with an older woman, an experience trapped in golden memory, like the brief appearance of dragonflies in summer. It’s irresistible to vibe to, and best of all, this track signals Loyle Carner’s long-awaited debut album, Yesterday’s Gone, due out on January 20th. - HT
