Chicago’s Jean Deaux just shared a new track, Find U, taken from Kitty Cash’s recent mixtape, Love The Free. Not only does the track have Jean Deaux at the top of her vocal game here, switching between gasping sighs, slick, seductive purrs and tangibly soft croons, but it was produced by none other than Sampha, who just made our Most Anticipated Albums of 2014 list. The beat is sharp and tingly, thwacking and skipping, until Sampha jumps in for a toe-curling verse at the song’s end.
Jean Deaux – Find U
Jean Deaux – Find U Lyrics:
[Intro]
So I was in LA,
And um, I was trying to find food and stuff
And so I go outside and I see these two girls
And Im like.
“Do you know which way the restaurant is?
And they were like
“Left (right)”
And I was like…. Thanks, it was pointless
(So uh, what did you do?)
[Bridge]
I got lost (6X)
[Verse 1: Jean Deaux]
I gotta find, you
Searching high and low
Would you like to know
Where I’m headed.
Cause I’m not sure.
I gotta find, you.
I gotta find.
I gotta find you, yeah. I gotta find you, yeah.
I gotta find you, yeah. I gotta find you, yeah.
[Verse 2: Sampha]
You see you’re, you’re out of my sight
And you’re like a fog light, coming ’round my blind side
Telling me pull over, watch where you’re going
Two different, two different directions at one time
Can’t process it in my mind, words were to rapid
My vision map it, I’m lost in you’re flashing lights
Awa-a-ay, now you’re going away
Now my heart leads astray, and I couldn’t quite say
What I wanted, what I wanted
Well where am I?, Could somebody show me?
Where am I?, cause I’m feeling like I’m on [?]
Feeling so woozy, feet just remove me.
