Tkay Maidza has shared her new single ‘Out of luck’.
A dose of heavy duty funk-pop, ‘Out of luck’ bursts with life and colour, the sound of someone re-asserting their worth. Lyrically, it’s about walking away from a bad relationship, and re-claiming your time – and your ambitions – as your own.
The excellent production bristles with pop vitality, while Tkay also nods to club tropes. Constructed alongside Clash favourites Lolo Zouaï and Amber Mark, this is a tri-force of feminine invention – spearheaded by Tkay Maidza’s impeccable vocal.
Out now, she sings: “Early in the morning / You messed up, you lonely / I am not that type / So try another time.”
In her own words, Tkay Maidza wanted to construct an “unapologetic song about moving on from a time waster and almost laughing at the lengths they go to try to return. It’s over.”
The single is part of Tkay Maidza’s incoming album – ‘Sweet Justice’ will be released on November 3rd via 4AD.
