The track is the artist’s first new single since ‘75% Happy’ just over a year ago.
With a well-established, distinctive style and allure, Japan based, British singer-songwriter, producer, model and visual artist Cream With a K is an artist who has continued to enchant and captivate us over the last few years thanks to the nuance and creativity of her work.
On her latest single ‘No Recovery’ the artist’s soft spoken vocals and immersive soundscapes explores co-dependent dead end relationships with similarly co-dependent, dead end people, fleshing out toxic environments and unsavoury images of people enabling each others lazy behaviours and lack of drive. As always, there is a darkness to Cream With a K and her sound, with her vocals possessing a cerebral, haunting quality throughout that feels calculating and enticing, making for a listening experience that has you hanging on her every word. The artist’s multi-faceted appeal and charm shines through on the new release, and adds to her glowing collection of successes.
“I guess, this song is about dating a “dead beat” … but not in a resentful way.” She says of the track. “It’s in an unconsciously toxic, co-dependant way – which is actually quite comedic. It’s about being needed but also secretly enjoying the power of being needed. It wasn’t just about my own experiences, it was combined with stories I’ve heard from my friends. My friend’s, who are very beautiful, clever and successful women; have all found themselves in similar surreal situations at one point or another. We love to sing along to the lines “You can come to my house, you can lay on my couch, watch my tv for days, eat my crumbs like a mouse”.
