Guernsey-born music producer Alex Crossan, under the alias Mura Masa, featuring vocals from ASAP Rocky. Crossan said about the recording of “Lovesick”: “The first thing he said was that it made him feel really tropical, like he was in Ibiza or something and I was musa lovesick, ‘OK let’s roll with that’. But then I said to him that it was about being stupid and feeling lovesick and hanging over a girl and he brought that to it as well. Lovesick” is a vocal version of a previous instrumental track titled “Lovesick Fuck”, which was released in his debut EP Someday Somewhere.

Rachel Aroesti of The Guardian called the original instrumental “jazzy” and “tropical”. Jon Pareles wrote for The New York Times that the song is “built on a Caribbean-tinged beat and a four-bar loop of a piano that soon switches its sound to steel drums”. El Hunt of DIY said: “No revolutionary new angles come from this guest spot, but it’s a statement of intent all the same”. The song has been remixed by Four Tet and Mumdance. Mura Masa is sure to be massive”. Mura Masa Wrestles Complex Emotions on His Major-Label Debut”.

What have the artists said about the song? The track originally was about sex and how I was feeling after a particularly empty encounter with a friend told through a kind of twisted-pop, calypso, hip-hop dance track. Rocky kind of ran with that and took it to this lovelorn, exotic place. How did Mura and Rocky come to collaborate on this track? The collaboration was recorded at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios. Rocky was actually in London for a couple of days and I wanted to make him feel like I was taking the collaboration seriously, so I booked us in to Abbey Road, Studio 2, and we met up there for a couple of hours and he did his thing.
