Hip-hop act Canyon drops laid-back single “FRIENDS,” exploring themes of love and friendship with a wash of melodic tunes. The track which draws inspiration on War’s 1975 hit “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” flips the narrative with a love story, delving into the importance of friendship between lovers.
With a relaxed soundscape led by his signature flow and bouncy basslines, the infectious production sees Canyon establish his versatility as he moves away from the explosive power he brought forth on previous release “In The Paint,” into something smoother and softer.
Accompanied by a music video which furthers the narrative of love by bringing his real-life girlfriend to feature in it, “FRIENDS,” is a down-to-earth and intimately woven production, peeking into the rising act’s lived experiences, crafted as a catchy sonic exploration that listeners can lose themselves in.
Never to be held by genre or thematic constraints, the track sees Canyon’s artistry go from strength to strength, filling with wait for his upcoming album MEANWHILE with the relatable, positive feels of “FRIENDS.”
