Chill Me Out

Clutchboy Kuma and Sophie DeFrench whisk listeners into a safe, dreamy space with their newest collaboration "Chill Me Out".

Clutchboy is an alternative r&b, hip hop, and alt-pop producer based in Virginia. This time, he blends classical with r&b and pop music as his production is laced with immersive strings and progresses like a scene from a film. I loved that the instrumental bears a minimal aesthetic as it offers Sophie DeFrench's gripping vocal performance enough space to shine through the mix. The romantic songwriting paired with the somewhat haunting vocals creates a mosaic of emotions that are bound to comfort us.
