If you have been following the musical adventures of Slavo and Justin (aka Fly By Midnight) for a while then you have been treated to lush, memorable and meaningful pop songs that will remain with you for years. They convey every day feelings in a way that most of us can only hope to achieve - sometimes with emotion and grace, sometimes with wit and biting clarity. It is why, long time fan or first time caller, their new single Caffeine is the musical espresso shot you need right now. Teaming up with fellow artist Shoffy, the lads have crafted a tale as old as time - caffeine is the stimulus but it is the ever swirling thoughts of relationship woes that are the impetus for this finger clicking groove. A shimmering textured instrumental caresses the evocative lyrics which are sung with just the right amout of frustrated yearning; meanwhile that chorus is a sonic boom, jolting you into the heart of the song. It eases the palpable tension of the verses by immersing you into a sing-along refrain that lets your cares fly away. Further evidence of the gang's creativity is on full display in the ingenius video - socially distanced shenanigans bring the story into vivid focus (with each artist's teenage dream making a cameo). Meanwhile Shoffy gets to live his best life by grooving out on the 6, whilst Justin  gives the best windswept hairography since season 5 of RuPaul's Drag Race. I mean, what's not to love. Barista yourself up a venti of this frothy & satisfying pop latte...
