Flexx Carter has just recently released the single ”Datenight” (feat. Chris Kabs) read our review here + watch the video

Flexx Carter’s latest single ”Datenight” brings a refreshing, laid-back energy, blending smooth rap delivery with a relaxed romantic vibe that resonates with anyone familiar with the thrill of a perfect evening. The track opens with a relatable narrative about modern dating culture, which typically involves navigating through dating apps. This act usually involves constant swiping on potential matches as Flexx sums up with the line “usually got the carpal tunnel from the swipe rights”. However, the magic of the evening soon shifts when he finds himself in the company of someone special.

Lyrically, the song is rich in vivid imagery. The line, “Open back tattoo, down the whole spine,” paints a picture of his date’s striking appearance, showing his fascination with her confidence and individuality. Throughout the song, there’s a consistent interplay of admiration and intimacy, with lines like “You remind me of the colour violet” creating a sense of warmth and closeness.

Musically ”Datenight” incorporates mellow beats and smooth vocal layering, with a touch of soul courtesy of the incredible Chris Kabs, giving the track a late-night, chilled-out feel. The lyrics maintain a balance between casual slick talk and deeper moments of connection, reflecting both the light-hearted and meaningful aspects of romance. Carter’s flow is effortless, exuding confidence, which complements the lyrical theme of an undivided, relaxed night together.
