Why don’t you call through the damn long night? Why Don’t you call? Call baby (Why don’t you just call?) Through the night Why don’t you call? Why don’t you? Through night Oh through the night (Why don’t you just call?) I wanna do without you I wanna do without you I wanna do without you I wanna do without you I wanna do without you I wanna do without you Down again, drowning shame Why don’t you call me? (On and on and on) 5 days straight, still this pain Why don’t you call? On and on and on And on On and on and on On and on On and on and on On and on On and on and on On and on On and on and on (I wanna do without you) On and on and on And on On and on and on I wanna do without you

Here comes the fire, breathe so we feel alive Still chasing pastures where water meets the sky Oh calling ya Calling caught again Oh i’m in love Caught up in your gaze Oh calling ya Calling caught again Oh i’m in love Oh i’m in love When the Sky falls back around Tuning in to your every sound See my thoughts they’ve run a mile Run a mile with me baby Run a mile Waters clear, we stare in the morning The morning, recording all was once unheard yet calling Recording these moments with you Moments with you Moments with you Where water meets the sky Moments Moments These moments with you Moments with you These moments with you Say it again, say it Say won’t you say it Say it again Waters clear, we stare in the morning All was once unheard, yet calling These Moments with you

*Do you believe in Love?* Rest your head on my shoulder We’ve all been in your place Roll up, do what you wanna Soon no need to negate Your lo ove (ho ho) Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove (ho ho) Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove Lo ove (ha ho) You’ve been on my mind all night, god damn shake it off Seeking past to open up, my heart soon erupts Our love Do as you will, love (Wretch 32 verse) Forget to past, here’s to the future on our second glass Don’t take a maths genius to see my better half Only when death do us part shall we step apart Set in stone, I got you for life it’s forever ma They’re not like you, they kill for the relevance I’m beside you, the world is already ours Either way I mean to say i feel a way Nothing’s gonna change Your lo ove (ho ho) Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove (ho ho) Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove Lo ove (ha ho) Lo ove Lo ove Oh our love

Down With Me 01:38
Can’t you see there’s a pharaoh coming down from the hills? With an air made of gold, oh so cold In his head was the end goal Had a dream made him feel Nothing will ever come close this Down with me right? Down with the movement feelings caught straight on sight Down keep it moving steady Down with me right? Down with the movement feelings caught straight on sight Down keep it moving steady Down with me right? Down with me right? Down with me right? Down with me right?

Wasn’t it all so perfect, so perfect? Curtain calls, curtain calls And did I really deserve this? So perfect Curtain calls Oh if you knew, I wish so too, see you real soon Sails away, god speed This in our own way is how to say goodbye This in our own way is how to say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye This in our own way is how to say goodbye This in our own way is how to say goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye

about

Born in St Lucia and later moving to the UK, Poté is a singer songwriter-producer who builds worlds that are raw and expansive His music treads between the rhythmic sound of his heritage and his interest in exploratory, emotive songwriting. “For me it's truly one of the most intriguing and forever inspiring art forms out there because there are infinite ways of telling a story and so much to learn”.
Poté started his career predominantly in club music for years with releases to Lisbon’s kuduro-fused Enchufada label, to Benji B’s label (Deviation), before experimenting and finding my voice in songwriting and getting signed to Bonobo’s label Outlier (Ninja Tune). “It just felt like there were more colors there to be able to express myself properly and experiment with narrative."
From collaborations with Damon Albarn or Pierre Kwenders on his latest LP to remixes for Gorillaz, Little Dragon, Poté is back with his new EP To Say Goodbye to be released on October 11th on his own imprint Versicolor (via AWAL). This project consists of 6 tracks, from the electrifying club vibes of Why Don’t You Call to the more The XX or Caribou infused Where Water Meets The Sky to the mesmerizing Our Love featuring Wretch 32, one the best lyricist in the UK.
“This is a project based around transience. The recognition that nothing lasts forever. So for that I wanted to write a project that represented me, as if it were to be my last. A project which felt fearless in its honesty about love, loss, fear and joy. A project which didn’t try to hide behind layers, one of genuine vulnerability and openness."
