2016 single by Mura Masa featuring ASAP Rocky
"Lovesick " (stylised as "Love$ick ") is a single by Guernsey -born music producer Alex Crossan, under the alias Mura Masa , featuring vocals from ASAP Rocky . It was released on 30 September 2016, by Universal Music , Polydor and Anchor Point Records , as the second single for his self-titled debut album .
Recording and background [ edit ]
Crossan said about the recording of "Lovesick": "The first thing he [ASAP Rocky ] said was that it made him feel really tropical, like he was in Ibiza or something and I was like, 'OK let's roll with that'. But then I said to him that it was about being stupid and feeling lovesick and hanging over a girl and he brought that to it as well. It was super fun, it was wild, we hung out, smoked cigarettes, talked about fashion and Tame Impala ."[ 2]
"Lovesick" is a vocal version of a previous instrumental track titled "Lovesick Fuck",[ 3] which was released in his debut EP Someday Somewhere . Crossan said that "the track originally was about sex and how I was feeling after a particularly empty encounter with a friend told through a kind of twisted-pop , calypso , hip hop dance track".[ 4]
Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian called the original instrumental "jazzy" and "tropical".[ 5] Jon Pareles wrote for The New York Times that the song is "built on a Caribbean-tinged beat and a four-bar loop of a piano that soon switches its sound to steel drums".[ 6] Collin Robinson of Stereogum opined that "Rocky injects the bouncy percussion and steel-drummed Caribbean vibes with some steez".[ 7] Rap-Up described the song as "soulful and electronic, calypso-tinged, rap-infused".[ 8] Eve Barlow of Pitchfork called it "airhorn -assisted calypso".[ 9]
El Hunt of DIY said: "No revolutionary new angles come from this guest spot, but it's a statement of intent all the same".[ 10]
Remixes and samples [ edit ]
The song has been remixed by Four Tet [ 11] and Mumdance.[ 12]
