5.You Be Love
From his latest album, You Be Love is an amazing track. The lyrics are just brilliant as they go like, “You can be the potter / I’ll be the clay”. The music takes off slower but electronic portion sets out when it’s least expected. Among his recent numbers, this one’s an experimental one.
