Snakehips - never worry (Album)
Internationally acclaimed and multi-platinum British production duo Snakehips’ highly anticipated debut album never worry is out now on Helix Records.
The genre-blending project showcases Snakehips’ ability to create magic with an all-star cast of supporting artists including Daya, Earthgang, BIA, Lucky Daye, Duckwrth, Tinashe, Kilo Kish, Nicole Millar, MadeinTYO, Rochelle Jordan, Tkay Maidza, AG Club and Bryce Vine. never worry is packed full of the duo’s signature grooves within a fuzzy mesh of boundary-pushing R&B, hip hop, and dance music, all paired with standout visuals from iconic mixed media artist Ruff Mercy.
From start to finish, never worry sees Snakehips’ scintillating production wringing every ounce of star power from their roster of collaborators. Album opener ‘Sometimes…’ lays down a strutting disco stomp for Daya’s sweet falsetto melody and Earthgang rhyming on the verse, before ‘Deal With It’ ushers in a dirtier, bassier vibe for Kilo Kish’s sultry delivery. Album highlight ‘Solitude’, a Top 5 US Dance Radio chart hit, is graced with BIA’s elegant tones over an Amapiano-inspired bassline, punctuated by harmonies from Lucky Daye, while upbeat single ‘Show Me the Money’ contrasts Snakehips’ pounding and propelling production with Australian experimentalist Tkay Maidza’s delicate topline melody. Their single ‘Who’s Gonna Love You Tonight’ closes the album on a heartfelt note, with Tinashe lending her smooth vocals to the duo’s airy, piano-led production.
