Considering it’s been over half a year since even a new verse from Rejjie Snow has been released, its easy to forget his talent and start to think he’s just talk. With “Lost in Empathy”, Rejjie will probably silence a lot of those doubts. On this track, the Dublin native lays down his whispery, drawn out flow with darkly tinged lyricism over a wobbly analog synth-driven beat. Rejjie also continues to embrace his Irish accent more than in his earlier tracks which gives his versatile flow a distinctive quality that I think works really well. I still have no idea when Rejjie is going to release a full project of any sort, but let’s hope it’s fairly soon.
