Top Dawg Entertainment's SiR has been steadily working for the past several years. Since being announced as a new signee to the label at the top of the year, he released his EP HER TOO. Earlier today, he dropped off "Something Foreign" with ScHoolboy Q and simultaneously dropped another single. This time, he grabs Etta Bond for assistance on "Something New."
SiR and Etta Bond deliver a smooth and soulful effort with "Something New." Their vocals compliment each others well and slide over the jazzy production that's filled with guitar, crisp drums and horns. It's a rainy day type of vibe with this song. This is one of the few efforts we've received from SiR since he dropped his EP earlier this year. At the end of the song, a voice pops up and says, "Welcome back. You have completed 37% of your journey, another 33 trillion kilometres to go." So maybe this is the beginning of something bigger.
Quotable Lyrics
You shine your light in the winter
Don't miss the darkest view
Now it's the perfect season
To swim the deepest blue
