With an ability to create art in multiple capacities, Duckwrth is quickly becoming one of the most sought-out collaborators out there. In the music world, he has worked with artists like Tobe Nwigwe, Cordae, and Saba, and with powerhouse producers like A-Trak, Machinedrum, Nascent, and ESTA. From there, his music has crossed over into the film world, with song placement in various movies and television shows. For those who are more into fashion, they might be familiar with Duckwrth’s modeling side, as he has appeared in ads for brands like Adidas and Loewe.
If his résumé has not done well to impress at this point, critics might want to turn to Duckwrth’s 2020 album, SuperGood, which featured viral hits like “Super Bounce” and “Kiss U Right Now.” These tracks ushered Duckwrth further into the public eye, drawing the attention of hitmakers and fans alike. As the anticipation builds for his third album, All American F*ckBoy, it is clear that Duckwrth is feeling the love – or is he?
On his new single, “Toxic Romantic,” Duckwrth admits that he is not as lovable as he may seem. The track starts out strong with the opening line, “I think my girlfriend hates me.” We then dive further and further into this narrative, as Duckwrth calls out his toxic behaviors and tendencies. He claims, “I still love you, but I’m in love with myself / No, I do not need some help / I’m so problematic / My baby said she can’t stand it.” Between the bold lyrics, daring vocals, and thrashy lo-fi beats, it is a compelling alt-rock track with a punk rock edge. It is also uniquely Duckwrth. You can check it out below.
Giving some insight behind the single, Duckwrth shares,
“I’ve been very aware of the bad habits I perpetuate—like entertaining other women while in a relationship—but that awareness didn’t stop me from being selfish in the past.”
