Check out Dempsey Bolton and the track ” Couple Minutes.” The track perfectly blends pop and hip-hop—think Beck meets Moby.

“I wrote ‘Couple Minutes’ somewhat unassumingly; at first, I was just looking for an intro track to an album I was writing about mental health. The album spanned a phone call of someone reaching out to a friend during a depressive episode. So, I thought I needed a song to lyrically open the call. I noodled out the song’s recurring guitar line and sang the hook into a voice note. Then, I produced the demo the next day, and it quickly became one of my best productions.”
