Central Cee details a 2024 love story
As Central Cee prepares for his upcoming album, he aims to build momentum with a heartfelt single that explains his methods for finding love in 2024.
The UK rapper raps over a melodic and soft drill beat, where he pens a modern-day love story. Additionally, the production feels like a distant cousin of the sexy drill wave recently popularized by Cash Cobain and New York. Throughout the song, Cee, in turn, breaks down what Gen Z love looks like. Furthermore, the rapper speaks with his future child about how his parents met. As a result, with multiple references to social media dating tactics, this single serves as the soundtrack for a modern-day relationship.
“Gen Z Luv” was released alongside a creative vertical music video that perfectly details the song’s contents. Considering the numerous references to finding love through smartphones, it makes sense that the music video is set in apps. As Central Cee raps, he receives multiple text messages, flips through various apps, records TikToks, and corresponds with different women. Consequently, the video enhances the song’s exploration of modern relationships.
These clever visuals perfectly complement the song and show how Central Cee navigates.
