Dev Hynes advocate Solange Knowles decides to do over this single from her 2012 True EP, enlisting the help of Compton powerhouse Kendrick Lamar. This song is full of chilled synths which have been greatly tweaked and expanded to create a slightly eery but soothing sound. K-Dot fits in perfectly, providing a flowing account of heartache in London as well as his listening to of Huddersfield's finest, James Mason.
Kendrick Lamar has a habit of picking strong female vocalists to work with, having previously collaborated with ZZ Ward and Dido. This trend continues with another strong collaboration which adds something new and exciting to the original song. Both artists are due to feature on farcical songwriters Lonely Island's upcoming The Wack Album.
