Tory Lanez continues to maintain momentum with the Lost Tapes series, unveiling two tracks from 2019 this week, one of which features Desiigner. Over the past few months, the Canadian artist has introduced various themes in his weekly releases. At times, he presents a collection of songs from a specific year, while on other occasions, he explores a particular genre. Additionally, he alternates between delivering intensely aggressive rap and his signature auto-tuned R&B tracks. This week, the focus is on the latter, as both Lanez and Desiigner delve into themes of sexuality and provocative intimacy.
“Slow Fade” addresses the artists’ tendencies towards poor dating practices, emphasizing a preference for fleeting enjoyment over long-term commitment. In contrast, “Alexandria” portrays Lanez’s infatuation with a woman and his desire for a lasting relationship. Each release in the Lost Tapes series offers a glimpse into the creative ideas Lanez has been developing. Listening to “Alexandria” and “Slow Fade,” one can discern influences from 2018’s LoVE me NOw, along with elements reminiscent of Chixtape 5, as he adopts a crooning style in both tracks. The YouTube links for “Alexandria” and “Slow Fade” are available below.
