LA-based No Love For The Middle Child is back with a powerful new single today called ‘Ash on the Floor’, and it’s one of our favourite tracks of the week.
The song looks at the denial that we sometimes allow ourselves to experience when a relationship is clearly ending. The lyrics also speak of the clarity that comes when we finally accept that someone isn’t right for us, and the closure that comes with it. Speaking on the production, the artist explains:
“I’ve been obsessing over production lately, especially within the confines of my own music. I find that I’m most comfortable writing lyrics in my room with an acoustic guitar and that’s often where my favorite stuff comes from. I mainly listen to energetic music though, and always want energy when I think about the live show. It’s been a fun experiment writing these acoustic songs and taking them as if they’re samples and remixing them to be quicker, transposed, or completely reproduced. I find that if the bones of the song are good, the production can be anything, and that’s what I found when making ash on the floor.”
Alongside his own solo work. No Love For The Middle Child has also recently collaborated behind the scenes with global names as notable as Machine Gun Kelly, Jelly Roll, Jessie Reyez, Juice WRLD, and TXT.
