Duckwrth is battling personal demons on funky new single “Had Enough” [Video]

It’s been impossible to pigeonhole Duckwrth throughout his career. He’s never shied away from exploring different sounds, starting out in hip-hop with appearances on TeamBackPack and with his early albums Ducktape and Taxfree V.1, before turning his hand to everything from dance (Chrome Bull) to smooth R&B (SuperGood). He’ll also regularly sprinkle in elements of his punk and alternative rock roots, leaving fans on tenterhooks with every new release, as there’s no way of predicting which direction he’ll be heading in next.

Upon first listen, “Had Enough” seems right out of Duckwrth’s more recent wheelhouse; another funky, disco floor filler to add to his collection. But this single and his upcoming album mark a distinct shift for the LA-born-and-bred artist, as he prepares to share a more personal, introspective side rarely depicted in his previous projects. On "Had Enough," Duckwrth confesses his struggles with substance abuse, how alcohol can leave him feeling like he’s 'drowning' from 'thoughts in [his] head.'

Duckwrth has never been one to half-arse his music videos. Whether he’s cruising down "Bernal Heights," or razzing a convertible through the desert in "Tamagotchi," Duckwrth has always made sure the visuals add extra dimensions to his singles. The same goes for “Had Enough,” directed by Alex 'Grizz' Loucas, but the video is more intimate and contained than Duckwrth's usual aesthetic. As is often the case, his dancing is the focus – anyone who’s seen him live will tell you how his moves are a vital part of his shows – but it’s a subtler, almost interpretive style, with long lingering handheld shots following Duckwrth as he moves through a house at '6:18am… after the party.' This change matches the more personal shift Duckwrth is making with his upcoming project. It’s almost like a waltz between Duckwrth and the wine bottle he lugs around with him – the 'brown-eyed demon from the west side' that’s personified in the lyrics.

Every Duckwrth release is met with a sense of anticipation, but based on “Had Enough” – the immediately-catchy grooves, and the honest, self-healing focus of the lyrics – this could be his most exciting project to date.
