When Robotaki dropped “Ghostboy,” it quickly became one of my favorite songs of the year, with its combination of beautiful vocals from Claire Ridgely and the simple, feel-good atmosphere which was perfectly reflected in the record’s production. Now, Robotaki has come back with a new VIP edit featuring rapper C. Young.
The song’s tone, arrangement, and production remain the same, but the addition of male rap vocals in each verse gives the song the grittier edge it deserves. It definitely serves to balance out Claire Ridgely’s whimsical voice and storytelling by providing the story with the male perspective it so sorely needed.
