Brooklyn's very own Garfield, a rising star known for his genre-blurring sound, is gearing up to drop what promises to be one of his most intimate and powerful tracks yet, "Who You Lovin?’. Set to be released on July 11th this year, and featuring the none other than SYN, the new single arrives in the wake of his breakthrough cut, ‘Aaliyah Interlude’, and is sure to solidify his reputation as an artist who fearlessly lays bare his soul.
Born and raised in Brownsville, Brooklyn, Garfield’s musical journey began with a string of singles and compelling featured verses on other rappers' tracks. His unique approach, blending raw street narratives with melodic, almost haunting vocal deliveries, quickly caught the ear of listeners. Armed with a distinctive style, which sees him bending beats to fit his introspective tales, Garfield has truly sets himself apart in today's bustling rap scene.
‘Aaliyah Interlude’, also featuring SYN, was a pivotal moment for Garfield. Its infectiously abrasive sound resonated widely, opening doors to a major-label distribution deal with Sony Orchard, managed by The Stachehaus (a KMG Brand). This deal has paved the way for exciting new possibilities, and ‘Who You Lovin?’ is poised to be a significant step in his trajectory towards the big leagues.
Garfield is, at his core, a masterful storyteller. He transforms personal experiences into universal anthems, and ‘Who You Lovin?’ will be no exception. This track finds him at his most vulnerable, born from the profound heartbreak of losing his mother to ALS and a painful breakup. Yet, despite the weighty subject matter, the song pulses with a vibrant energy, driven by Garfield’s signature fusion of rap and melody, underpinned by heavy, sliding 808 basslines and rapid-fire hi-hats.
The infectious hook — “Who you lovin’ on these days, who you touching on these days, ’cause it ain’t me baby” — creates a driving contrast between raw vulnerability and undeniable confidence.
With ‘Who You Lovin?’ now available for pre-save on Spotify and Apple Music, Garfield is poised to solidify his position as one of the most exciting and emotionally honest voices emerging from New York’s ever-evolving music landscape.
