Bad Luck

The voice of the new generation, SL, brings his name back to the forefront of conversation with his latest track ‘Bad Luck’. Still just 18 – the charm in his simplicity, his cheeky words of wisdom, show that there’s a formula in his music that separates him from a lot within his category. His elusive presence adds to the mystery of his identity, encouraging listeners to pay more attention to what he’s narrating.

SL’s adaptability to own a beat, whether that’s those that are more conventional to his genre or those that stray slightly leftfield, is impressive. ‘Bad Luck’, produced by Kenny Beats, is a rhythm that distinctly features an eastern sounding flute, which is then brought to life with the 808s that really act as the driving force to this record. There’s not many that can keep it slick and effortless whilst trialling out more obscure beats, but SL does exactly that.
