“Over the past months there has been lots of growth, pain and realizations of unhealthy emotional and physical habits in need of correction,” says Player Dave about the reason behind his recent hiatus. Sometimes life gets in the way of what we love the most, but what is most important is getting back on your feet stronger than you were before. Thanking his fans and friends for their unending support, the San Diego-based artist has taken his troubling experiences and funnelled them into newfound inspiration, releasing the incredible ‘Develop’ yesterday.
A lyricless jam that is equally perplexing as it is mesmerizing, ‘Develop’ depicts a journey of evolution and growth, perhaps mirroring Player Dave’s recent experiences. What begins as a halftime heater highlighted by grungy synths and a wicked flow takes a one-eighty degree turn around the halfway mark, as Player Dave flips the track into a punchy trap-leaning slapper. Any unsuspecting listener is sure to become short of breathe as each kick hits like a strike to the chest, before the two influences are merged together as ‘Develop’ comes to a close.
For an extra kick, don’t forget to read the track’s description. Don’t miss ‘Develop’ below.
