Lil orchid, GWYN and Just Kane have teamed up for a brand new hip-hop/ alternative single ‘Summertime’.
“Doja Cat’s Streets inspired me very much and I decided to create something with the same vibe. However, things took a detour when GWYN added her vocals and gave the song a depressing identity”, producer lil orchid reveals about the inspirations for his composition.
“lil orchid and I have been friends and writing partners for years”, says GWYN, “I grew up listening to a lot of pop rock and emo tracks, whilst he is very fond of dark R&B type of music. We reckoned this song needed rap verses and luckily found Just Kane on Facebook (lol) who fit right in. So this is our take on a sad boi anthem”.
Just Kane’s verses are deeply personal, “I let my walls down for the first time in 8 years with someone who didn’t love themselves. By the time I figured that out I was too deep in it to just leave. My verse is inspired by the dance of a co-dependent, toxic relationship between someone who has left his old life of drug abuse behind and blindly fallen in love with someone who is heavily addicted to them. Comparing the high of love to chemicals I used to depend on every day and how similar the ups and down can be in a toxic relationship when blinded by love”.
