A chilled-out pop single with a warmly hypnotic glow, “wantyoubad” is a consuming collaboration from loser supreme and Paragon Don. “I can’t get you off of my mind,” the airy vocals admit to start, enamoring amidst a weightless blend of light guitar shimmers and mellow rhythmic underlying. The Montreal-based producer Sam Seguin, aka loser supreme, casts an amiable, laid-back character with the track’s soothing production.
Paragon Don’s hazy vocal addition infuses further compelling qualities, exuding a lamenting hip-hop flair in the “I want you, but I can’t have it,” lead-in. The initial lyrical refrain appears intermittently throughout, emphasizing the yearning sentiment amidst loop-embracing guitar lines and dynamic verses, from the lush lead vocal to Paragon Don’s captivating verse. “wantyoubad” is a stellar collaboration from loser supreme and Paragon Don.
loser supreme is in the midst of production for a new disco-inspired album for Laurent Bourque, releasing in Spring 2024.
loser supreme elaborates on the track:
“Making wantyoubad was like a puzzle that I never wanted to solve because the writing process was so much fun. I had this idea of, what if Dilla’s “So Far to Go” was done by Panda Bear. So I started imitating those sampled sounds and textures by looping and chopping my guitar playing. Around the same time I found Paragon Don (Salem, NC) serendipitously through a mutual friend’s Instagram post. I DM’d him the track to see if he wanted to do a feature, and before I wrote a single lyric, he returned with a killer verse with a solid direction for the song.”
