LOVER gets more interesting upon every release, with ‘Waiting Up’ feat. Cult Shotta only adding to the proof. The Australian has embraced influenced from the likes of Brockhampton and Joji to create this tune, which combines atmospheric textures with heavily manipulated vocals and a funky, almost lo-fi beat. Rap from Sydney duo Cult Shotta takes the track to its unique next level, with LOVER stating: “I knew Charlie (of Cult Shotta) would be the perfect choice for that extra part I was after. I knew he’d bring something fresh to the sound, and after a few weeks of back & forth, he came through with two verses that I was really happy with”. This track gives us a taste of the tone his next EP will embrace. - Dan Peeke
