LAKIM Drops New Single "Need Want"

lakim-need-want-single-lead

LAKIM drops his latest single "Need Want" ahead of the forthcoming This Is Her LP, dropping February 25th via Soulection. The Lynchburg beatsmith serves up an airy number stuffed with fat synths and a sick melody anchored by a sample of Robin S' iconic house classic "Show Me Love." The track - an amalgam of feminine traits that takes a few conceptual cues from Frankenstein - plays with an abundance of bass and bounce yet still manages to remain decidedly wavy. Lakim offers a brief explanation of the production's anatomy:

“During the course of the year I probably spent making this, I met three woman that embodied some of these traits but not all of them. So, this is essentially me taking the best bits from each of them and creating in my mind a Bride of Franksteinesque ladyfriend and putting it into song form, lol...” - LAKIM
