Expressing his frustrations at the digital generation, QuinceLu’s infectious new drop ‘Social Distancing’ is a burst of bouncy R&B rhythms that explores overstepping boundaries in a world where we are always available.
Introduced by a delicate acoustic riff, the track swiftly turns up the heat with a fusion of simmering 808s, bold bassy beats and Latin-inspired chords to create a melody that is simply irresistible. QuinceLu hops between his rich vocal capability and distinct rap delivery with ease, allowing his bars to strike through the flow. Another segment in the Bendemic series, the Floridian rapper adopts common phrases from the difficult year the world has just endured and uses them as a metaphor for a variation of societal issues, with his previous banger ‘Coronavirus’ a play on the idea of a person being unhealthy and dangerous. The visuals are a representation of the inspiration behind ‘Social Distancing’, with QuinceLu and featured artist Ami Sun, who delivers ethereal harmonies on the single, both sucked into their screens and struggling to communicate that they both need time to themselves. A quote from the track, “Im telling your bro, check your ego cause’ envy can grow on you, and anybody that you know. Don’t let your eyes close, stay on your toes’ ‘ highlights QuinceLu’s worries that social media and its ever-growing list of negativities can convince you of things that aren’t true, and throw you off the path of your own reality.
The Colombian artist moved to South Florida at the age of five, adopting styles from his cultural heritage and new home to establish his fresh ‘Bendito’ sound that has been causing waves on the scene as of late. With an array of tracks racking up over 90,000 streams on Spotify respectively, he is a talent you don’t want to miss out on.
