Duckwrth Releases New Track ‘Toxic Romantic’

The chaotic path of Duckwrth’s alter ego—a frenzied and forceful personality that is warped by a nighttime lens of influence and temptation—is followed in “Toxic Romantic.”

Power-charged bass lines set the tempo as Duckwrth swiftly displays his aggressive, quick-witted lyrics that shine with knowing and intent as the tune bursts into a field of blazing punk and hip-hop. “I’m so problematic // My baby says she can’t stand it,” the South Central talent echoes while voicing the darker, more destructive themes of lust and escapism.

A vigorous journey reflecting this all-consuming, treacherous persona and the self-destructive affinities that follow, the music video, directed by Gryphon Olis, instantly brings the sharp sound waves to life, from hazy, drunken altercations and high-speed pursuits to the moment of realisation. It is packed with the kind of absurdism projected in the allure of toxic influences.
