Providing us with all the nostalgia and soul we could need to charge into the weekend, Black Sands offers us the groove-laden track, “Deserve”. Reflecting on the simple beauty of loyalty and commitment within a relationship, “Deserve” lends a refreshing spin on the ups and downs of romance — mimicking it’s natural course with the ebb-and-flow of alt-pop charged beats. Creating a track which is raw in themes and rich in rhythm, Black Sands also drafts in the sultry vocals of rising R&B artist Isadora, whose tender lyrics help carry a narrative between two lovers.

On the track, American producer and Black Sands frontman Andrew Balfour says, “There’s something beautiful yet dark about it. ‘Deserve’ hits on the theme of loyalty and gratitude. Staying loyal and true to friends and relationships even when people are at their worst to help them persevere. The song comes from the perspective of being grateful for the people who stay by your side through thick and thin.”

Blending a melodic tune with playful synths, “Deserve” demonstrates Black Sands’ ability to create danceable tracks loaded with introspection. To listen to the new track now, head below…
