Zambinan-born PatricKxxLee has been going through a rough patch. Having checked himself into rehab for depression two weeks ago, he now asked his manager to drop ‘Ghosts Love Me’ while he’s still in there. Classified as “Goth Trap”, the multi-talented artist and producer states “I made this track in my darkest moments.” The short song is about the voices in his head persuading him that suicide is the answer (“You should just end it all now”), and feeling that all is lost anyway, he’s no longer scared to follow through… (“I see ghosts in my room, and I ain’t scared of them”,“Fuck it I started, I might as well finish”). While ‘Ghosts Love Me’ is not included in his upcoming album Nowhere Child, the track still somewhat serves as a preamble for the emotionally charged and highly anticipated project dropping later this year, which Patrick says will be a brutally honest summary of all the self-contemplation he’s been going through lately, and a radical new sound.
