UK rapper slowthai kicked the year off on the wrong foot, finding himself engulfed in some controversy following his appearance at the NME Awards. While cancel culture is surely at an all-time high, an apology, and acknowledgement of his behaviour, helped smooth things over. He’s since continued to roll out new music which is a promising sign that an album is near.
This week, slowthai returned with a breezy new single titled, “Feel Away” featuring contributions from James Blake and Mount Kimbie. Relationships and heartbreak serve as the cornerstone of this song as Dom Maker bouncy keys bring a breezy feel to the record.

[Verse 1: slowthai]
We don’t go on dates, we went our separate ways
And we don’t conversate, she said I’m playin’ games
She said she feels trapped, stuck up in this fuckin’ maze
How you been? I been better than yesterday
And it was just a day, you know I don’t complain
Standin’ in the rain, soakin’ wet tryna demonstrate
That I don’t feel a way, I never hesitate
What’s on your mind? Can you say what you’re thinkin’, babe?
I’m too short for my pockets, no, that’s bollocks
Walkin’ through my mind, it’s a forest, don’t get lost again
Said you want a cottage with the fireplace
Sittin’ by the fire with marshmellows and a chocolate fig
You felt low, I took you higher than a note from Mariah
And still you got the cheek to even try and call me a liar
Want a bun up in the oven
Tryna trap me in ’bout why I put a baby in your stomach
If that’s what you desire
[Pre-Chorus: slowthai]
Desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire, desire
Feel away, desire, desire, desire
[Chorus: slowthai]
Suddenly not half the man I used to be (feel away)
But truthfully, it hurt what you could’ve been (feel away)
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me (feel away)
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me (feel away)
Suddenly not half the man I used to be (feel away)
But truthfully, it hurt what you could’ve been (feel away)
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me (feel away)
[Bridge: James Blake]
This time I (This time)
This time I (I feel away, this time)
This time I (This time I’m thinkin’)
This time I (I feel away)
This time I have one hand free (Feel away)
This has nothing to do with me (Nothing, nothing)
[Verse 2: James Blake]
I leave the dent in my car
To remind me what I could have lost
And you revealed who you are
So this doesn’t feel like love (Feel like)
I feel safe, I feel safe
This time I, this time we’ll be too scared
Or bein’ to fear
This time I, this time will, hope this shouldn’t end
[Chorus: slowthai]
Suddenly not half the man I used to be
But truthfully, it hurt what you could’ve been
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me
Suddenly not half the man I used to be
But truthfully, it hurt what you could’ve been
It’s not you, so I guess it’s me
[Outro]
Dream, come and rescue me
See me there, see me down
Take me anywhere, I come to you with love
