Isn’t it funny how signs of growth and progression change from milestones such as turning 18 or 21 into more subtle shifts in the way we think and react? That frame of reference usually settles in at some point and unfortunately that day isn’t circled in red on the calender. But when that day hits, you’ll more than likely notice it.

Sometime during his world travels that revelation hit Oddisee & in turn he hit the studio. Using The Manhattan’s “Am I Losing You,” as a starting point he concocted a smooth array of synths & hi-hats to convey his feelings. Joined by Toine of DTMD, the duo further drive the point home with their verses. “Different Now,” serves as the final single from Mello Music Group’s Helpless Dreamer compilation & one of Oddisee’s four contributions to the project which released last year. It also serves as a offering to help tide fans over until he drops People Hear What They See later on this year.

Mello Music Group’s Helpless Dreamer is available now.
