Sticking true to his namesake, Lucid Kidd welcomes us at the door of his latest track, “Smooth Sailing”, armed with intoxicating lo-fi beats and lucid percussion. As a chest-pounding base drop ensues, Lucid Kidd tickles the ground-shaking production with his hazy vocals, delivering an all-too-relatable narrative on the importance of letting go and getting lost in love.
Ethereal yet hard-hitting, “Smooth Sailing” perfectly encapsulates Lucid Kidd as an artist. He is at once playful yet sincere, light yet deep: a paradox that makes his efforts all the more compelling. Touching upon his innate instincts to love and protect, “Smooth Sailing” offers us a refreshingly stirring perspective of a male counterpart within a relationship.
The music video accompanying the track follows suit, showing Lucid Kidd totally submerged in water as he gives into his emotions while his all-consuming soundscape continues to glide through the frames. Having experimented with his own sounds since he was just 13 years old, it is no surprise Lucid Kidd has already created a totally unique yet instantly recognisable style of tune-crafting. And so, of one thing we know for sure, it’s that for Kidd, it’s only “Smooth Sailing” from here.
