James K, hoodie Scorpio (2023)
Scorpios are renowned for their intense, passionate and all-consuming love. Traditionally ruled by Mars (the planet of action and passion) and, in modern astrology, by Pluto (the force of power, transformation and the subconscious), they embody a potent mix of emotional depth and fierce determination.
When Scorpios love, they LOVE. They are protective, devoted and willing to do anything for their partner. But if betrayed, their affection can flip, and they pursue revenge just as intensely as they once loved.
This intensity is mirrored in the collaboration between producers hoodie and James K. In a poem accompanying their 2023 trip-hop-infused EP 065 (Scorpio), they reflect:
“Out of time, alone sometimes, wide awake, thinking, I must have been here before? In a dream, or vision of a memory, and it’s hard sometimes, but I wrote this for you to ease. Something to carry with you on and on, seasons change, but the bite of Scorpio remains…. ‘So let it go, don’t be a cell to yourself.’”
Listening to the title track, “Scorpio”—an ambient banger that is our song of the day—you can almost feel the weight of being loved in a way that is deep, powerful and just a little overwhelming.
