Kwabs Reinvents “Layback”

Kwabs recently decided to return to "Layback," a song he wrote several years ago, with fresh ears. The new beat for the track builds around relaxed, flowery synthesizers that wouldn't sound out of place in G-funk. But the programmed beat remains light, allowing Kwabs' multi-tracked vocals to shoot skyward.

The singer recently appeared on a new Disclosure track; check that out here. Kwabs' debut full-length, Love + War, comes out September 11.
