Multi-instrumentalist and R&B singer-songwriter Cautious Clay treats fans to his latest single, “Dying in the Subtlety,” the second track from his upcoming debut album, slated to arrive in 2021.

Speaking on the record, Cautious explains, “‘Dying in the Subtlety’ is a look at what it means to lose sight of the bigger picture in the context of friendship and relationship dynamics. It examines how subtle moments of emotional uncertainty or exuberance can sometimes serve as false negatives or false positives.”

He continues: “the song ultimately calls to attention the importance of being aware of these internal signals and being more long-sighted when evaluating who you choose to give love and meaningful attention to in an age of distraction.”

The video for “Dying in the Subtlety,” which also premiered today, is directed by Haoyan of American and shot in and around Cautious Clay’s home in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The meaningful lyrics, at times expressing fear and frustration, are paired with a playful, energetic video. Watch below.
