Starrah – Keep Calm (Audio, Lyrics)

Starrah Keep Calm

Starrah has returned with her brand new single “Keep Calm,” which recently saw a world premiere on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio. With James Blake handling production, the track immediately captures attention with a mysterious and melancholic piano progression. From there, Starrah’s faint, haunting vocals transform into an autotuned melody, far more contemporary than the song might have initially led on. It doesn’t take long for Starrah’s intention to become clear, painting a picture of a fractured and undeniably strained relationship.

Yet what it lacks incompatibility it makes up for in passion, as Starrah lines her lyrics with evocative and sensual imagery. “Slippery when wet, watch where you step, put to the test, put some calm in your step,” she sings, as Blake brings new percussive elements in the mix. One of the track’s most intriguing components come by way of the backing vocals, pained, lovely wails that suggest what lies beneath. It’s a shame the song ends when it does, as it feels like there might have been additional directions to explore — either way, “Keep Calm” is worth a listen.

Lyrics

[Verse]
Control is not the same thing as love, don’t you know?
There was a time when I couldn’t get enough, don’t you know?
To pass time, set my mind on fucking you slow
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
The lows don’t feel the same as the hugs, don’t you know?
You’ll never numb the pain with the drugs, don’t you know?
If I’m the one to blame, let me know when to go
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Mastermind steppin’
Watch where I’m steppin’ these days
Love could be a weapon in these waves
Oh, woah, woah, woah

[Chorus]
Slippery when wet, watch where you step
Put to the test, keep it calm in your step
Cards in the deck, complex
Convicts could tell you love to project
Dying to protect what’s on your chest
Turbo jet, baby, say it with your chest
Slippery when wet, watch where you step
Put to the test, keep it calm in your step
