Remember when Frank Ocean made us wait over a year for Blonde? That’s kind of how we felt when Medasin teased a January release for his new album, Rippls, then said, “SIKE! You’re getting it in March.” Some might call me dramatic, but 2015 was anxiety-ridden due to waiting for that album drop!
But Grant Nelson (aka Medasin) made up for it in 2 ways. One: By being a shining light on EDM Twitter with his life stories and silly selfies. Two: with his new single ‘Get By’ with Cautious Clay.

Now if you’ve ever felt heartbreak, you’ve definitely heard a Cautious Clay song. I first heard about him when a boy who wouldn’t date me due to my race deadass played ‘Blood Type’ for me. While that hit too hard to home, I haven’t stopped listening to him since! His soothing, sexy vocals can make any sad tune make you feel less alone. ‘Get By’ is no different.
The track is about disappointment and what it feels like to be let down, but not surprised. And that’s something we can all relate to. Cautious Clay’s distressed yet divine vocals mixed with Medasin’s well-rounded production abilities make ‘Get By’ a song that we’ll be bumping to while driving with our top-down all Spring and Summer long. Especially when you want to get over whoever broke your heart during cuffing season.
Listen to ‘Get By’ below and don’t miss out on Medasin’s Rippls coming out on March 6. Also, going by Cautious Clay’s Twitter bio, he may be coming out with one soon, too!
