HipHop aus Belgien.
Frisch aus Antwerpen droppen blackwave ihren neuen Song "Good Day", der ein guter Vorgeschmack auf das kommende Album ist. Nachdem ihr Debüt 2019 in Belgien mit Gold ausgezeichnet wurde, hat das HipHop-Duo eine neue Single veröffentlicht. Die Single ist der Startschuss für ihre Kampagne zur Ankündigung ihres zweiten Albums "no sleep in LA", das im September erscheint. 
Die Tour zur Promotion des Albums beginnt mit einem großartigen Auftritt in der Werchter Boutique im Vorprogramm von Stromae und Gorillaz, was ja schon eine Hausnummer ist. Da ihr Album weltweit gute Kritiken erhalten hat und ihr Live-Ruf mit über 10.000 verkauften Tickets in den Benelux-Ländern, unternimmt das Duo neue Schritte, um in Europa zu expandieren. blackwave steht für entspannten HipHop.
This song is definitely our most personal and honest one yet. A lot of the events that happened over the past years, since the release of our debut album in 2019, made us dig deeper than we ever did before. After releasing an album we worked on so restlessly, we had a hard time finding purpose again. Both in our own way, we went through really dark times. We decided that we needed a more direct approach in our songwriting, and 'good day' is a first byproduct of that new way of working.
'good day' is about being in a really dark place and dealing with it on your own while trying to maintain an untroubled image towards the outside world. We often don't think about what people are going through on a daily basis, and might only see them on a 'good day'. We talk about some really personal things in the lyrics, including depression and loss.
Dreaming
All night, all day I don't sleep
Gravity don't exist 'round here
I can't get off my feet
So why won't you blow the dust off my surface
Fix me up and give me purpose
Even if I don't need it
Just 'cause you caught me on a good day
Verse (Willem)
Laying still, taking pills
Just to get out of bed
I'm missing thrills, cannot feel
'Cause I'm light in my head
Ain't paying bills, way too chill
Wish I got fire instead
But on the real nothing feels like it's posing a threat
Everyday feels the same, I stopped looking ahead
A long time ago, I was sure this was my path
I wanna be lead, I wanna be taken away
Tears to be shed, but I don't feel nothing
You just caught me on a good day
And I'm just feeling like a bootleg version of myself
Should approach it in a new way
New pace, true friends, losing all my loose ends
Foolish, acting like it's easy to be fooled with
I gotta take it seriously, seriously
This shit is fucking killing me
I've been ignoring this for too long
I gotta move on, go to bed with my shoes on
And start
Chorus (Jay)
Dreaming
All night, all day I don't sleep
Gravity don't exist 'round here
I can't get off my feet
So why won't you blow the dust off my surface
Fix me up and give me purpose
Even if I don't need it
Just 'cause you caught me on a good day
Verse (Jay)
Two in the afternoon turn and I snooze
No Zzz’s, mind clouded by the news
Of my pops that suddenly died in foreign
Ears ringing, couldn’t even hear the silence for ‘im
Prrrrrr, I turn and I snooze
I'd rather be on fun shit but today i lose
A battle i didn’t choose but I had to pick
Right now i just need the world to get off my _
And quit tryna fix my shit for me
I just need time
But it seems I can’t afford it
Always need to be rollin, always something important
That be knocking at my dox in the morning
Yet I rise and shine but rarely on time
Tired of maintaining that 9 to 5 smile
While feeding my addiction of escaping what’s before me
Can’t control but i know i just gotta get back to
Chorus (Jay)
Dreaming
All night, all day I don't sleep
Gravity don't exist 'round here
I can't get off my feet
So why won't you blow the dust off my surface
Fix me up and give me purpose
Even if I don't need it
Just 'cause you caught me on a good day
Bridge
Chorus (Jay)
Dreaming
All night, all day I don't sleep
Gravity don't exist 'round here
I can't get off my feet
So why won't you blow the dust off my surface
Fix me up and give me purpose
Even if I don't need it
Just 'cause you caught me on a good day
