Los Angeles’ Duckwrth rallies against constraints on ‘Nobody Falls’, taken from his new EP ‘The Falling Man’

Los Angeles’ Duckwrth rallies against constraints on ‘Nobody Falls’, taken from his new EP ‘The Falling Man’; it features guest spots from Terrace Martin, Kiana Ledé and Medasin. It charts Duckwrth’s unwillingness to be held back by the trappings of daily life, even where love is concerned. It’s a truly expansive production, laid-back vocals are underpinned by a throbbing bass-line – sampled drums pepper the soundscape, providing rhythm to a searingly melodic high-end. A contemporary R&B summer anthem of the highest degree.

The new EP is a significant step forward sonically for the Angeleno, with a sumptuous blend of lush organic sounds and sampled, hip-hop flecked beat mapping. 2019 is going to Duckwrth’s year, big live dates with Anderson Paak and Rich Brian have launched him even higher; and when coupled with a spot on the soundtrack for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse it’s easy to see why his stock is rising.
