New Music: ANDRÆ – Will you be my painkiller?

Belgian singer-songwriter ANDRÆ cites artists like Jimmy Scott, Nina Simone, and James Blake as formative influences on their current sound. New track Will you be my painkiller? brings those inspirations to life in a vivid and surprisingly cohesive fashion.

Will you be my painkiller? is a wonderful cross-pollination of classic blues/RNB themes with modern sounds and angular rhythms. That blend of old and new, of soothing tones and moments of dissonance, give the song a unique and irresistible emotional energy as it explores the kinds of toxic behaviours that may occur in relationships.

Says London-based ANDRÆ about the song and lyrics, “Many of us tend to see each other as painkillers, desperate for relationships of any kind to distract ourselves from our own loneliness.”
