Little Dragon will soon release their fourth studio album, Nabuma Rubberband, and yesterday they premiered their second single from that album, "Paris," on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show. The track's clear R&B influences really show off the "Janet Jackson slow jams" vibe the synthpop band is going for in their new album, as lead singer Yukimi Nagano told Rolling Stone last year.
Nabuma Rubberband comes out on May 13th, 2014 and is available for preorder on iTunes. For more on Little Dragon's music and news, check out their official website.
Listen to "Paris" above and check out the lyrics to the song below.
Little Dragon "Paris" Lyrics:
It's that time to transform
To come around, I'm changing
Ooh there's an angel knocking on my window
Trying to tell me where to go next
It's a small town without you
It feels cold, it's creeping
Moving on, I look ahead insteadSpirit divide, drift alone
I waved her goodbye, I carried on
Dream fast, a black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flight to ParisThe hourglass, a tick tock too fast for a destiny
I've got a full drawer of letters
Remember it was Paris you said we were gonna meet
Why your answer machine's still on
It's the oddest feeling since you're gone
A part of me drift away with you
And will never returnSpirit divide, drift alone
I waved her goodbye, I carried on
Dream fast, a black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flight to ParisSpirit divide, drift along
I waved her goodbye, I carried
Dream fast, a black dress
Folded on a big mess
I'm changing my next flightLa Suède est où je vis
Mais c’est à Paris que je me sens en vie
Je sens que je pourrais m’y poser...
Des vacances
Et ne jamais rentrer...
