It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had brand-new music from blackbear – but he’s officially back with a bang. The rapper is back with new music this week as he links up with singer/songwriter/dancer Tate McRae for his new single ‘U Love U’.
he infectious pop ballad features blackbear’s signature blend of honest lyrics and edgy pop production, with a topline vocal performance from fellow hitmaker Tate McRae.
“u love u is the first single off of my EP misery lake,” says bear. “It’s an EP about isolation and feeling alone I made at the very end of quarantine before I got vaccinated. u love u is the perfect blend of nostalgic synths and new school drums that paints a picture of what it’s like to be in a relationship with a person who loves themselves so much that you feel alone. The opening line, ‘it’s been over for a year or so, I should have left a couple tears ago,’ sets it right up for what is ultimately an anthem for breaking up & to invest more time in yourself. Tate McRae then adds so much depth sonically to this song, it is truly a great way to start off the misery lake era of blackbear.”
Tate adds, “’u love u’ is a super honest song about the struggles of being in a relationship with a selfish person. I’m really excited to be a part of blackbear’s record and help bring his vision to life.”
