Chiiild Enlists Lucky Daye For “Good For Now”
Chiiild is preparing for the release of his forthcoming album in April. Today, he blessed fans with a new single.
Chiiild teams up with Lucky Daye for their ultra-smooth collaboration, “Good For Now.” The laidback record further explores the chemistry the two parties built on Lucky Daye’s “Compassion.” The atmospheric feel and hypnotizing vocals provide strong insight into what we could expect from Chiiild’s next project.
“Sometimes we get caught up in the feelings and start thinking about the future with the hope that the feeling lasts,” Chiiild said in a statement. “This song is a reminder that whatever happens, we should be present in the moment because we don’t know what tomorrow brings.”
Chiiild’s “Good For Now” will appear on his forthcoming project, Better Luck In The Next Life, due out on March 3rd. Chiiild’s latest single follows the release of “Bon Voyage.” He later released, “You Get Me (A Final Word).”
Chiiild has a packed year scheduled. A day before his album drops, he’ll launch the Better Luck In The Next Life tour in Santa Ana, CA. The tour will hit major cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and New York City. Then, he’ll conclude on April 11th in San Francisco.
Following the release of his latest three singles, it seems like Chiiild is on pace to have one of the strongest R&B releases of the year with Better Luck In The Next Life.
Check out his new single below.
Quotable Lyrics
I say you’re just caught in the moment
When you’re close, I get reckless
Laying in the wreckage
I can’t stay for breakfast, yeah

Montreal’s Skiifall Drops “Fam Without Blood”
One of the most promising artists out of Canada is closing the year on a high note. Skiifall came through today with the release of his latest single, “Fam Without Blood.” The artist connects with Wondagurl, Rodiah McDonald, London Cyr, and frequent collaborator Yama//Sato, who team up for the song’s production. Skiifall glides with his unique blend of patois, English and French with a matter-of-fact flow. Meanwhile, the production boasts an eerie feel from the ominous soundscapes, accented by sliding 808s that Wondagurl became known for.
The song arrived alongside a new music video directed by Aimé-T. Irabahay, which finds Skiifall roaming through the night with his crew.
Skiifall’s coming off of an incredibly productive year. Since emerging with “Ting Tun Up” in 2021, he quickly became one of the most recognizable figures to come out of Canada. He closed out 2021 with “Break Of Dawn,” alongside BadBadNotGood, The Kount, and Yama//Sato before leaping into 2022 with “Bloodclart Business,” which he debuted on Colors. Since then, he’s remained relatively low-key, though he did link up with Lil Silva on “What If?”
However, it’s clear he’s gearing up for a massive year in 2023. “Fam Without Blood” follows the release of “I Can’t Feel My Mind (Freestyle)” last month.
In addition to his releases, he also hit the road with BadBadNotGood over the summer on their North American Talk Memory tour. Then, he hit the festival circuit across Europe.
If you aren’t familiar with Skiifall yet, make sure you press play on “Fam Without Blood” below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
More times n***as was vexed
I’m a great success
Wish it was really them
But I wish it was us instead
