Melt My Eyez

Critics are already calling Melt My Eyez a dazzling high point in Denzel Curry’s career. While he’s gained notoriety through high-energy rapping and trap-heavy beats, this new album changes things up for the artist. “(On Melt My Eyez) there are no tracks where I’m yelling,” he explains. “This time I’m speaking.”

Like many of us, the pandemic ripped Curry away from his fast-paced lifestyle. With no more distractions, the artist found it challenging to fully “sit with himself.” In isolation, he was forced to take a full-frontal look at problems he’d previously distracted himself from. On Melt My Eyez See Your Future, those problems are processed in brave, intimate detail.

“I’m articulating my emotions better than ever before,” Curry says. “It’s my best album, period.”

Fans may already be familiar with the album’s lead single, “Walkin.'” With a laid-back groove and an emphatic hook, “Walkin'” has Curry trudging forward with resolve through “this dirty filthy rotten nasty little world we call a home.” The record also gets an epic Sci-Fi Western music video. Directed by Adrian Villagomez, the video shows Curry trekking across a desert planet before a cinematic face-off with his antagonist, John Wayne.
