Quelle Rox - i only want you when i’m f****d up (Single)
After being introduced to Quelle Rox by way of her double featured visual “happy in a haze / butterfly to ya,” we were hooked on her solemn sound, which we couldn’t wait to see a follow-up from her back on our timeline. Especially since she had shared a preview of her upcoming EP titled “Coffee & Cigs.” As of now, a release date has not been given for the project, but instead, we’re blessed with a new single + visual titled “i only want you when I’m fucked up” that dropped earlier in the week to hold us over until more information about her album is announced.
She only wants you when she’s fucked up so she can forget all the shit that happened initially in the inebriated state where she wished for her death to come. She contemplates ending it on the train tracks because you didn’t share the same love she has for you, but still, it would end where she doesn’t want to be: lonely. Misery loves company, and while she wishes for your love, she isn’t getting it, so the dark thoughts start to surface. She explains the comical situation of being in bed with your best friend and confesses she already has, which only ended in good head. She drives back the melancholy chorus that helps flourish into a bridge of her swooning in Spanish so heavenly before entering into a saxophone solo. I’m a sucker for a saxophone in a record, and as soon as it hits, my soul is humming on the highest key. The record is a sensational step into artistry, and the visual is just as remarkable. It’s like peeking on the other side of heavens gate and just getting a taste; Quelle Rox is an artist who takes the creativity of her craft and turns it up to the highest degree. She is definitely in her own league when it comes to the beautiful work of her videos, and I’m glad to help share these examples whenever I can.
If these two records are any indication of what’s to come for “Coffee & Cigs,” then best believe we are here on the forefront with support & anticipation for the release. Until more news on a date is mentioned, be sure to check out both the track and visual here while sharing it around on all social media avenues.
