“It’s about what I recently discovered is called the ‘arrival fallacy’ — that thing where you feel like you’ll be content when you achieve a certain thing or whatever and then you get there and it’s not it”
“Slippin’,” Clementine Douglas’ most recent single, has been released.
The song, which comes after her breakthrough single “Riddles” earlier this year, is a fusion of soul, breakbeat, and R&B components, with soothing keys, bubbling brass, and thoughtfully placed breakbeat elements.
Within the track, Douglas explores the concept of the arrival fallacy, on which she says:
“Sonically, ‘Slippin’’ has elements of all the kinds of music I love: the soul, breakbeat and R&B. It’s about what I recently discovered is called the ‘arrival fallacy’ — that thing where you feel like you’ll be content when you achieve a certain thing or whatever and then you get there and it’s not it!
“This song is about the realisation of that and a mantra to myself to let go of expectations and enjoy the moment as it comes.”
To accompany the single, Douglas has also announced her headline live UK tour – which follows her debut live show at BBC Radio 1 Ibiza and Boardmasters Festival this summer – landing in her hometown of Birmingham in addition to Brighton, London, Manchester and Glasgow across October
