Stream “Honeydew” by Connor Caine and megan., out now on all platforms.
R&B duo Connor Caine & megan. return with a new, alluring single. On the song, called “Honeydew,” the LA-based musicians find their rhythm and sing about memories of a strained romance.
“Honeydew” is the newest collaboration for the duo following the release of their jazz-tinged track “Sit Back.” While “Sit Back” serves as a groovy, smoke-sesh friendly song, “Honeydew” is a much moodier collab. The track banks on the two artists singing chops on the open instrumental melody, and given the challenge at hand — they don’t disappoint. Caine’s more rap influenced singing complements megan.’s floaty, distant-sounding vocals nicely. The duo serve as a harmonious team that delivers warm and peaceful vibes all the way through.
“Honeydew is that rollercoaster relationship – where you’re tossed between floating on stars, and getting sucked into the riptide. It’s about distance, slaps to the face, and the in between moments where thoughts and feelings lie,” Connor tells Remixd Magazine. The two artists’ joint EP Luna is slated to release in mid-November and based on the first two tracks, this project is definitely going to be something to keep an eye out for.
“Like It, Like It” is releasing tonight at midnight!
