The Range will release his Potential LP this Friday via Domino, and today we listen to the producer’s newest track “Copper Wire“. Potential features rappers and vocalists that James Hinton found while exploring off-the-beaten-path on YouTube, with London rapper Kruddy Zak appearing on this thrilling new cut. In talking about “Copper Wire”, Hinton explains:
“I think a lot of my favorite lyrics on Potential allude to coming to terms with a difficult time in your life – that moment of acceptance when you finally allow yourself to drop your guard and admit you’ve been hit with something hard. Zak’s verse has a piece in it that states ’09 was emotional / it’s a memory / I wish that everything was still the same’ and that hit me particularly deeply as that was the year I lost my mom. Writing this song was the first time I ever talked about that moment in my music, and I think it was an important step in dealing with how I was feeling to finally get some words about it down on paper”.
Also, look for The Range’s track “1804“, featuring the Jamaican rapper Naturaliss, to premiere tonight on Sun City Radio in Jamaica at 8:30pm EST/9:30pm EDT. And, while you’re at it, you can watch the new video for “Copper Wire” below, directed by Daniel Kaufman.
