My brand new record 'Stay With Me' out now everywhere on Black Book Records. Listen:
Stay With Me - Alright so finally, this song is out. Let me give you a little background about this puppy. So I was chilling with Gita (my wife) at the beginning of the week leading up to the Shrine shows I was away to play with Fisher in February. She kept saying to me “you need to write something special for the Shrine that you can debut and test. It’s a special show and you should put that unique energy into your writing”. I listened to her, ignored her, and got on with my week, because you know, I’m a dick and I dismissed what she was saying for no good reason. Fast forward to Thursday morning and the anticipation was really upon me and finally the words Gita had been saying to me all week really rang true. “I really SHOULD write something for the Shrine!” So that morning I got up, grabbed the laptop and setup on the kitchen worktop and started making a beat. Gita woke up and started vibing with me.
She said she had an idea. She cut the vocal in the bedroom, sent it to me and that’s the exact vocal you hear in the track. I fiddled around with it all day to get something down to test that night and I was working on it in the green room right before I went on. (See pictures in comments).
Anyway, that’s a long way round of saying that this track is very personal and symbolic of my creative connection with Gita. She’s truly the most creative human being I know and keeps me inspired every single day. This video was taken of me dropping ‘Stay with me’ in the Yuma tent at Coachella. That’s Gita that I turn round to kiss just before the drop. It’s maybe a little cheesy thing to be posting, but to be honest, I couldn’t give a flying fuck. Without her this record would not have existed. This song exudes her energy, passion and creativity and inspired me to add my sauce to it and I’m proud to share it with the world.
So to summarise. Sorry Gita, I should have listened sooner, but fuck it, we made a banger.

Lyrics:
I see you wanting me
Do you like what you see?
Feel your energy
Watching over me
Let me find what you keep
What you're hiding from me
I could take you aside
Keep you safe for the night
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay with me
I feel you looking at me
Do you like what you see?
Feel your energy
Watching over me
Let me find what you keep
What you’re hiding from me
I can hear you speak
That you're watching over me
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay
Uh, I want you to stay
