“DUE PRIME” by the duo Moses Has Left the Chat, with singer B Munro in the mix, comes through like a late-night ride down a neon-lit highway—slick and streaked with a retro-futuristic vibe that is too sleek to let go of. Fabio Capelli and Antonio Blakstad come through with a sound soaked in cosmic vibes that stretch beyond the beat. Fabio’s got this gravelly Anderson.Paak-ish tone as he sings, dropping lines like “At the time, I didn’t mind / It was opening bar crimes/ My soul was overcrowded/ By my lonesome, I thrived/ It was all in due prime/ I had to make a song for it,” dragging you through his mental maze, every twist a battle, every turn a lesson.
Then there’s B Munro—her voice, airy like smoke rings, floating through the chorus, wrestling with the ghosts of yesterday, trying to find peace in the chaos. The track’s built by Fabio and Antonio’s hands— with everything from thin, flanged synth leads that open up like some otherworldly portal to earthy percussions that ground the electro funkiness in an almost tribal rhythm. By the time Fabio’s verse hits, the track’s already lifted, with bright strings and a tinny, filtered drum break that snap you out of reality. The beat keeps shifting, bringing in punchy drums and a bass line that rumbles low, grounding all that spacey goodness.
Antonio steps in like a smooth operator, laying down bars that just glide, real steady. He’s talking about living life and moving with the flow, “Finding it hard to let you go/ I escape like Nina Simone be running on/ Inner sinner man,” facing the demons head-on with a poetic grace. “DUE PRIME” doesn’t just hit for its soulful grooves with rich, layered beats but also for the depth in its lyrics – blending both effortlessly.
