deathbypeanuts’ Single “Nightrider” Takes Listeners on a Soulful, Midnight Journey of Desire and Discovery
Wrapped in "Nightrider"'s velvet embrace, it is almost impossible to fend off its nighttime companion and haunted soul. The collaborative wizardry of deathbypeanuts, NanaBcool, Selassie, and Dexter Francis Mason paints an epic yet personal soundscape. A spine-tingling collage of sensual grooves and playful lyricism, this track is distilled into a vibe somewhere in between midnight and back roads. Layers of metaphor cascade from NanaBcool's verses, indulging in stories of desire and self-exploration while the atmospheric vocals of Selassie float effortlessly across the rich instrumentation designed by the German producer deathbypeanuts. The vulnerability instilled by the addition of Dexter Francis Mason’s vocals, who sings with a unique clarity and an emotional register, is uncommon. The production creates an intimate yet pulsating feel with warm synth textures that wrap around the listener while mimicking the heartbeat of a night. "Nightrider" is more than a track; it's an expedition through its own personal universe where you forget the passage of time and let the stars blur and speak to each other.
