Theophilus London ft. Jesse Boykins III - Life of a Lover
- Artist: Theophilus London
- Track: Life of a Lover
- Feat. Jesse Boykins III
- Producer: Club House
- Album: I Want You Mixtape
There are few artists as qualified to discuss the Life of a Lover than alternative emcee Theophilus London and R&B singer Jesse Boykins III, the duo who brought us steamy collaborative cuts Cold Pillow and Oohs & Ahhs. So, what is it like to get more action than... um... one of those board things you clap shut when you shout, “Action!” at a movie shoot (clever analogy, huh?)? Judging by this mixtape cut, leaked to promote the headliner's new Hypebeast blog, it's pretty damned nice. Here, producer Club House provides a a silky-smooth, jazz-sampled beat as London paints a laid-back lyrical portrait of the glamorous life of a playboy. Topped off with Boykins' equally chill, almost-murmured hook vocals, LoaL should be just the thing to vibe out to during the long, sunny days that lie ahead (frankly, it's got me in the mood for a nice afternoon nap). Anyway, if you find yourself seduced by this record's swanky style, keep it locked – Theophilus' I Want You has yet to receive a release date, but you can rest assured we'll bring you all the latest.
