Song of the Day: Alone – Murky Waters

If you’re massive fans of Still Woozy, Tyler the Creator (Igor + Flowerboy) and Dominic Fike, then you’ll definitely like this guy…

Making his debut on the radar, LA-based crooner MURKY WATERS dishes up his melodic string-laden/boom bap single, ‘Alone’, where the young artist paints a vivid picture of his struggle in regaining independence from a traumatic relationship.

Murky Waters on his debut single: “It captures the feeling of wanting someone so bad you drive yourself crazy, then losing them and falling apart, unable to shake the thought of them. When I was writing “Alone” the melody came to me naturally as Ford Jones, my producer, and I were working on the beat. At that point, the words ‘I’ve been lost all alone; You broke my heart and left me helpless’ seemed to follow fluently. From there the topic had sort of just established itself and I took my experiences and filled in the blanks.”
