about
Searchlight again team up with Manchester’s [ K S R ] for a late night, neo-soul ‘journey’ on Goldie’s Fallen Tree 1Hundred label.
Irish producers Cian McCann (Zero T) and Dom Purcell (Beta2) continue to build the Searchlight narrative of ‘future retro’ in the lead up to the release of their self-titled, debut album.
This second Searchlight / [ K S R ] collaboration follows the recent ‘We Could Be More’ – a single that built up 200+ plays across UK radio. Key support for Searchlight has come from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs and Lauren Laverne on BBC 6Music with additional spot plays from Benji B, Goldie, Future Soul and the Chillest Show on BBC Radio1.
"We first met [ K S R ] at the Outlook Festival in Croatia about 5 years ago. Memories are hazy, but the connection was via Manchester's Children of Zeus and their involvement with drum and bass artist Lenzman's North Quarter label. Under my Zero T alias, I'd been involved with that label since its inception, so when it came to writing my 'Baby Grand EP, [ K S R ] was the first name on the call sheet.
From there, when Dom and I started the Searchlight project for Goldie and Fallen Tree 1Hundred, we instantly knew [ K S R ]'s voice would be an essential element in crafting our sound. We're all massive fans of neo soul artists like Dwele, D'Angelo and Maxwell and 'Journey' was one of the first tracks recorded for the album, we felt no one could do the job except for him. Building the song, no real direction was required from us which was great, we just sent over the beat to him and he took it from there - and what a job he did!"
- Cian McCann (Searchlight)
lyrics
Baby girl, can’t you see that I’m looking for you, in my journey
Listen girl, can’t you see that I’m looking for you, in my journey
Can’t you see that I’ve been, searching over rough waters for you
Can’t believe that I’ve been, neglecting love, thinking it wasn’t true
Fly me through the times that matters, cos in this life it always seems I’m lost with answers
Show you care with all your passion, and in return I’ll show you love that’s everlasting, yeah
Baby girl, can’t you see that I’m looking for you, in my journey
Listen girl, can’t you see that I’m looking for you, in my journey
Can’t you see that I’ve been, searching over rough waters for you (waters for you)
Can’t believe that I’ve been, neglecting love, thinking it wasn’t true
Fly me through the times that matters, cos in this life it always seems I’m lost with answers
Show you care with all your passion, and in return I’ll show you love that’s everlasting
