It’s been a few years since Chris Siegel first burst onto our radar. The relatively unknown artist who dropped ‘Jersey’ in early 2016 has been steadily evolving and growing with time. After taking nearly a year off from releases, Chris is back with an emotional anthem entitled ‘I Can’t.’ It fits in perfectly with his previously work blending an upbeat and infectious backdrop with a moving vocal performance from lulunah. The track was originally inspired by the catchy chord pattern and goofy flute of Lil Yachty’s ‘Broccoli.’ After creating the instrumental, Chris knew the song needed more. lulunah’s vocal were the missing piece to make ‘I Can’t’ something truly special. The track was co-written together and Chris provided some additional insight into the emotion behind it.
“Lyrically, the song is about the need to break away from an unhealthy relationship. It could be a friend, romantic partner, business partner, etc.. ‘I Can’t’ references a particular moment in time where a person fully realizes the relationship can’t go on as is.
Although emotions of sadness are present lyrically, the song is ultimately meant to emphasize the concept of self-worth + self-care.”
The combination of emotive vocals and playful production makes for a sound that’s sure to command repeat plays. Stream ‘I Can’t’ below.
