The 25-year-old singer/songwriter/producer Cavetown collaborated with singer-songwriter Frankie Cosmos on a new lo-fi single “magic 8 ball.” The single comes just in time for Cavetown’s upcoming headlining tour. The track is a testament to the musical talent of both artists, as they complement each other’s voices and abilities in the best way. Cosmos will also be supporting Cavetown on this headlining tour, where the two are excited to get to sing this together.
The musical composition of the track is very special to the ties between the two artists. The bright guitar melody and tasteful use of synth truly marries their voices and makes the transition between the two rather seamless. The layered melodies also add to the emphasis in the lyrics and overall emotional depth of the song. The track seems to cover a journey of coming terms with being unsure in life.
The lyrics go into topics many listeners will relate to. Dealing with uncertainty is such a human emotion that is very venerably reflected in the lyrics. They read “If I obsess on where I end / I’ll never arrive / Never arrive / Nothing is mine.” There is a sense of removing urgency in life to be able to enjoy the magic life can hold.
Overall, this collaboration is one that seamlessly blends the passion in both artists and is bound to get fans and new listeners excited for Cavetown’s headlining tour.
