Tennessee rapper Starlito and much-loved Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth met in a California studio back in July to create and record a track as part of Yours Truly and adidas Originals’ Songs From Scratch series.
The result is Can’t Get Over You, a yearning post-breakup track where a narrator laments love lost.
Hemsworth’s track of horn blasts and plucky harp sets a pensive mood and is met with Starlito’s southern drawl inflicted on moody, lovelorn vocals:
I think about you all the time / No, I can’t get you off my mind
These words could be cringeworthy in lesser hands, but Hemsworth’s cool and Starlito’s attitude save them from being so. It’s a track for the broken hearts out there who aren’t feeling pathetic enough for a ballad.
The Songs From Scratch series has so far brought together the likes of Danny Brown with AraabMuzik, Shlohmo with Jeremih and more, as key players of of hip-hop and electronic music are combined.
Starlito and Hemsworth talk about this collaboration in a video shot for the series. Listen to Can’t Get Over You below, and check out the video above.
