London-based hip-hop luminary, Marcello (spooks) put the pedal to the metaphoric metal in his double A-side release, Endless Drive: A Love Story. Both singles cruise through driving imagery to create a parable on how we are all finding our way somewhere, whether that be love, success or both.

Oozing the sunny-side-up optimism that this world necessitates, the new release, which is due for release on April 18, uses a colourful tonal palette to evoke a sense of hope in the listener to prove that a positive perspective is the fuel you need in your tank to reach your destinations.

Track one, TRAFFIC alludes to how patience is a virtue; in a world of instant gratification, Marcello’s sharp lyrical hooks are forged in introspective gold. The nuances of afro pop take the hit to the next euphoric level before ENDLESS DRIVE smashes through the illusion that even the best relationships are never smooth sailing; there are always bumps in the road.

Marcello (spooks) said:

Endless Drive: A Love Story is a metaphor for the nature of a turbulent romantic relationship and the perseverance required to be happy and successful in music and life. The first single, TRAFFIC, is about finding patience while standing behind someone else in the queue for your love, but you don’t mind because it is worth the wait. The same sentiment stands when you are on the road to success.

The second single, ENDLESS DRIVE, is a meta depiction of how it feels to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t know how to drive, takes the wrong turns, gets you lost, doesn’t focus on the road ahead and always makes a beeline for complications.

Amelia Vandergast, the Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:

“Attitude is everything; Marcello’s will leave you revelling in gritty yet sincerely pure soul. His daring propensity to look on the bright side and flip the pervasive narrative that life is a minefield of personal injustice needs to spill onto the darker corners of the internet.

The stellar production in his double A-side with his effortlessly exhilarating air that breathes through his vibrant bars will pull you down to earth while simultaneously leaving you on cloud nine.”
