KWAYE breaks hearts with elegant soul-pop number "Lost In My Boots"

17 November 2017, 11:16 | Written by Laurence Day

KWAYE is back with "Lost In My Boots", another era-straddling track filled with retro nods and forward-thinking motifs.

The track follows summer EP Solar (which features "Little Ones", "Cool Kids", and "Sweetest Life"), and sees KWAYE threading his addictive, heart-laced soul tones with funked-up basslines and beats that swing like a pendulum. It's a classy number with a contemporary twist.

"'Lost in My Boots' came to me at point where I was losing faith in my relationship, and fearing the worst," explains KWAYE. "I placed myself in my partner’s shoes. I imagined the hurt, the betrayal, and the heartbreak they would feel if I was to end it all, and the strength and perseverance I believed they would have to get through it all. The song is also a lyrical ode to the African American experience, better days that have been promised and broken throughout history, plus the strength and excellence in spite of these adversities."

"Lost In My Boots" is out now via Mind Of A Genius.
