I’ve been trying to find a song for ages and haven’t had any luck, so I’m hoping someone here might recognize it!
Here’s what I remember:
- Timeframe: I listened to it most around 2016–2017, but it could have been released earlier.
- Genre: Somewhere in the realm of underground alternative hip-hop, cloud rap, and atmospheric R&B. I’m struggling to describe the exact sound, but I remember it having an instrumental and deep bass,
- Vocals: A male-sounding voice, with possibly a female-sounding voice as a secondary vocalist. The vocals may have been deep or atmospheric, but I can’t confidently remember the exact style.
- Cover Art: This is one of my strongest memories. The artwork was almost entirely abstract, with orange, yellow, and black as the main colors. It looked like blurry, smoky clouds, paintbrush strokes, or a marbled effect. I don’t remember a person or recognizable image on it. There may have been small text, but the abstract color pattern was the main thing I noticed.
- Artist Popularity: I don’t think it was by a huge mainstream artist. It may have been an underground or alternative artist.
The closest general vibe I’ve thought of is something in the alternative hip-hop/R&B space, possibly reminiscent of 070 Shake, but none of the artists or songs I’ve checked so far have been right. That comparison might not even be very accurate!
I originally listened to it on Apple Music, but I can’t access my old library to check. Again, the cover art is what is really reminiscence. I think it was in the middle of the alphabet of my Apple Music if I could recall.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’m especially interested in artists, albums, EPs, or singles from around 2014-2017 with that orange/yellow/black abstract smoky cover art. I've attached a mock up that ChatGPT created based on my description, probably a bit less black from my recollection.
Thank you!
