Emerging Chicago artist Blake Saint David confidently reaffirms their bold ambitions on the vigorous new track “Can’t Fold”. As the song begins, listeners hear melodic keys and an ear-slapping sub surrounding the kick. In turn, Blake whispers into the mic letting listeners gradually gear up for the fierce beat drop. Blake’s deep, muffled voice spits a vicious verse saying “put a band on my wrist like a bad tattoo, put blue agave in my tea cause I can’t have big brut”. Letting their wisdom shine, Blake sings, “She say she love me but I don’t believe it”. Priding themself on being alone where no one can damage what they’ve created, Blake realizes it comes with a price that can have brutal side effects. Surprisingly, the track's hook is divergent from the rigid production. Blake utilizes their bravado by singing “I can’t go, I can’t fold” over an eerie, heart beating production creating a bold rise in ambiance and energy. Rounding out the song, Blake showcases effortless versatility, ranging from a cold-hearted flow to a sparse, emotional hook.
