Diggs Duke returns with "Forever Love Is Tainted" - the opening track from his forthcoming Brownswood Recordings project The Upper Hand and Other Grand Illusions, due out on September 1st. The track's narrative, which follows the bumpy road of infidelity according to the pain of a man scorned, is an interesting and pretty commendable approach given that men's relationship woes are not as popular a subject in the realm of love songs as those of the fairer sex. That creative decision takes a backseat only to the production from Jelani Brooks, which is a blooming and bending mind melter made of fish grease and fleeting beauty. Diggs Duke drops the track less than a week ahead of the full release with a note on the inspiration that went into the lyricism:

This is the opening track from my new @Brownswood EP, "The Upper Hand and Other Grand Illusions." It's an equally intense and humorous glance inside the head of a dude that just found out he's getting played.

Check the track below to listen to "Forever Love Is Tainted." Pre-order The Upper Hand and Other Grand Illusions EP via iTunes. Stay tuned for more from Diggs Duke.
