We caught up with DraxProject to get the lowdown on their sunny, eclectic, sax-heavy new album 🎷
"In the really early stages of the song, we were like, 'This kind of fits as a duet,' but we never actually did it," Singh recalled."After the Camila Cabello tour, we got hooked up with Hailee because someone from Camila's team had shown her 'Woke Up Late.' Hailee really liked it, and she asked us if she could be on the song.
"We fully wrote that song off the guitar line," Singh remembered of this chill-as-hell earworm."That came first, and we had this melody and these lyrics: 'Hey what happened to you? / You were my best friend, so content.' We wrote the whole song based on that." Lyrically,"Natural Selection" describes a very specific scenario: when someone wildly attractive starts talking you up and it seems too good to be true."It's almost like this self-consciousness, and not believing that this extremely good-looking person is interested in you," Singh said."It's different from these other songs because it's all about an aesthetic attraction rather than a deep one. It's dirty and dark in that way.
At the same time, Singh says they were careful not to sound ungrateful; after all, they're in a position so many artists would envy."For us, it was a really fine line with the song to try to not sound like we're complaining. We're missing home, missing our relationships, missing our friends and family. But at the same time, we're exactly where we want to be.
