Ghostpoet‘s been kicking a gargantuan storm this year, his debut album is a hell of a record and the debut single ‘Survive It’ threatened to render all other music pointless. Well, now he’s back with another track from the album, ‘Liiines’; a haunting ballad that avoids mawkish metaphors and clichés.
It’s a track that’s packed with heart-wrenching narratives and ingenious wordplay. It was only a matter of time before someone of xxxy‘s musical calibre would take a crack at reworking a track.
It’s a more upbeat affair than we’re used to from either Ghostpoet or xxxy but it plays its Funky card well, avoiding the trap of becoming either too cheesy or too po-faced. Grab xxxy’s version below and then go out and buy the album.
