1999 WRITE THE FUTURE is having an impressive 2024. Collaborating with artists like Rich Brian, Offset, Rick Ross, and more, they’ve delivered solid banger after solid banger after solid banger. Their latest single, “Silence STArEs Me Down,” features Rich Brian and Cuco.
In “Silence STArEs Me Down,” Cuco and Rich Brian delve into the themes of solitude and the challenges of facing the world with a loved one. Cuco’s poignant lyrics, such as “And I know that if I really try / I can bring myself to make it right / I just gotta understand what’s happenin’ when silence stares me down,” convey a deep sense of melancholy. On the other hand, Brian’s lyrics, like “She said I live in the hell of my own design, But when we’re talkin’ goals it gets harder to pick a side, The trophies I collect might seem a lil pointless without your smile,” express the intention of aligning goals with a loved one despite potential fragmentation.
This bedroom pop track will be praised mainly because of Cuco’s therapeutic and pure vocals, seamlessly blending with the smooth production for an incredibly ear-pleasing experience. Rich Brian’s assertive rap verse adds a dynamic shift in pace and tone to the track.
These are the kind of songs they should add to the Calm app.
