    This track is giving some major Prince vibes to me. It might be the ADHD meds but I can't get it out of my head. I love the video too - nostalgic 90s video game/screen saver.

          Cupid Deluxe is kind of the record that made him. You're Not Good Enough was the first single and still a stand-out track, but its got a goddamn minute of nothingness at the end that I hate. I only listen to my edited copy of this record :)

          For the most part his videos are really lo-fi, done in one take in that warehouse... but the vibe is perfect for it.

          Here are the videos for Cupid Deluxe -- the most polished one is High Street with the legendary UK rapper, Skepta -- skip the remix video (the second) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgwkAqR89uhpM_iVqNgej-uvgrrFsSfSi

    I love his stuff. Not every album is great beginning-to-end (although I agree Cupid Deluxe is probably his best) but every album has at least one song I could recommend to pretty much anyone.

    I'm going to add my favourite one here.
