Bop Shop: Songs From Joy Oladokun, Denzel Curry, Euphoria, And More – News

Denzel Curry‘s tenacity is undeniable. In the video for his first new single of 2022, he stands alone in the desert, dripping sweat, proclaiming, “Clear a path as I keep on walkin’ / Ain’t no stopping / In this dirty, filthy, rotten, nasty little world we call our home.” The subject matter (and accompanying visual) is relentless, but the music is laidback and smooth, allowing all the urgency to emanate from Curry’s rapid-fire delivery. The refrain “keep on walkin'” becomes like a mantra, something to repeat in the midst of ongoing crisis. —Patrick Hosken
