"Belong" marks the first release from South London-born producer, artist, and songwriter yours.truly, following years of collaborations with underground artists. Speaking about the track, he explains:
"This song is a rediscovery of what made me want to make music in the first place."
Now, let me go slightly off course here to express how much I appreciate this discovery and "Belong" as a whole. Last night, in the Namibian desert, I lay awake in my small tent for nearly eight hours, unable to sleep due to the cold. I tossed and turned, trying to accept the situation as best I could, but the border of my tolerance was reached time and time again.
At first light, I woke, made myself some hot water over a flame, and slowly walked it off. As I watched the sunrise, I reflected on my love for music and how, in just a few minutes, I would open my laptop, hit play on yours.truly's "Belong," and return to joy. And that I did.
"Belong" is a rich soundscape that fills the moment, allowing listeners to either lose themselves or find themselves. Whatever journey you're on, there's something for everyone at every twist and turn of this inspired track.
