about

'D.A.R.L.I.N.G.' single from Danny Groenland feat. Tolü Makay & Jamel Franklin (Shy Mascot). Digital release on platforms July 31st, 2020.

D.A.R.L.I.N.G. evokes the complex feelings of love and longing that are both strained and strengthened by distance. This song was written and recorded in isolation.

Danny: "The genesis of this collaboration came from my group playing gigs with both Jamel (Shy Mascot) and Tolü, I was already a huge fan of both artists. I had the song's chorus and the beat - it gave me an early 2000's Neosoul vibe. Tolü and Jamel wrote their verses, the Major 7ths added their parts and the song came together really organically."

The music video was recorded by friends of the artists and represents their different reactions on a video call to a loved one in isolation. See if you can spot some familiar faces* among the 49 people (and 1 cat).

lyrics

D.A.R.L.I.N.G
Feel just like a K.I.N.G.
I B.E.L.I.E.V.E
My only number O.N.E

Okay, come keep me company baby
You know I can’t stand the cold
Of this winter blues
That I just can’t comprehend
If I was to love you, would we stand a chance?
I dig this high chemistry darling
Cos baby I’m on cloud nine ‘cos of you, cos of you baby
Baby you’ve got my mind and my soul,
And my body too, it’s all for you
I’ll be the trees, you can be the wind,
Rocking night and day, back and forth, intertwined as we sway,
Ooh darling, it’s Y.O.U. and me

D.A.R.L.I.N.G
Feel just like a K.I.N.G.
I B.E.L.I.E.V.E
My only number O.N.E

You know I love you like cook food
Stew peas with the spinners
And the thyme twigs,
I'm talkin' good food
Already know I been hooked too
Chant ya name like Rufio, or a hook boo
Heart got Juxed too, robbed like crooks do
Keep me on my whole damn tip toe
I never been on that Hotep tip though
But you got me feelin' like Dr. Umar with the red eyes
Yes I'm, cuffin' in a Kufi just to hold that Miss though
King this, Queen that, really do we mean that
Just some similes that, signify
The feelin' I, get when we intertwine and combine
On the minds level, and we need that
Never play the bassline like that Flea cat
Max levels where we be at
You the prime numero uno, the O-N-E believe that

My D.A.R.L.I.N.G
Feel just like a K.I.N.G.
I B.E.L.I.E.V.E
My only number O.N.E
