The electronic music scene thrives on producers who have the guts to break lyrical boundaries, and Caldwin—Lucian the writer/producer’s project—is doing just that with his debut single, “Stuck With You.” Baldwin refuses to stay in one lane, driving through house, progressive and trance. He’s always looking for weird sounds, gothic pads, tribal kicks. His debut single, with official music video, is the perfect introduction to his unpredictable sonic world.
A Love Song Without “I Love You”
“Stuck With You” is essentially a love song where no one can say “I love you” and they say “I’m stuck with you” instead. Baldwin uses lyrics like a cycle, exploring the burden of absence and modern relationships. It understands the paradox of love and shows that the glue that holds together his music is the deep, poetic storytelling. Sometimes the music and the lyrics go together and sometimes they pull in different ways.
A stellar female lead vocal floats effortlessly over the production adding raw emotion to every line. The delivery is almost chant-like, perfectly fitting in with Caldwin’s love of unexpected textures. The production is warm and made for a big room, but it’s intimately close. With “Stuck With You,” an electronic artist comes along who takes lyricism and production just as seriously.
