Slow down. Grab the wall. Sage The Gemini has dropped a new track. Today (Feb. 25), the "Gas Pedal" rapper previewed his new album Remember Me with a new track "Down On Your Luck" (feat. August Alsina).
"Down On Your Luck" sits at a short 2 minutes, 16 seconds, which is the perfect length given the somewhat grating beat used for the song. Much like his gold and platinum singles "Red Nose" and "Gas Pedal," "Down On Your Luck" features a simplistic, hypnotic tone repeated, though this one is particularly piercing and distracting.
While the high notes of the synth help to balance out Sage The Gemini and August Alsina's smooth, mid-registered delivery, it takes away from the lyrical expression of Sage the Gemini or any of the other elements of the song. Simply put: it's overwhelming.
One positive thing about the musicality of this single is that it helps to balance out the smooth rapping/singing of Sage The Gemini and August Alsina, and it does create a dynamic listening experience. Just one that is happily limited to 136 seconds.
"Down On Your Luck" is the track that fans get when they pre-order Sage The Gemini's debut album Remember Me. Featuring "Gas Pedal" and "Red Nose," Remember Me is due to drop on March 25. Pre-order the LP on iTunes here.
