Future, Ty Dolla $ign and Kiiara Team Up on ‘Darkside’ [LISTEN]
The Netflix movie Bright, which stars a mustache rocking Will Smith as a Los Angeles police officer, comes out next month. The soundtrack, however, dropped on Wednesday (Nov. 8), and it features an impressive array of artists, including Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky and others.
The soundtrack was produced by Atlantic Records, and the first song that's been released is called "Darkside" with the singer Kiiara, Future and Ty Dolla $ign.
In short, the song is about wrestling with personal demons but being completely honest about it. Kiiara provides the light, airy, pop vocals, while Ty and Future Hendrix give the song proper grit to balance it out.
"Some days I can't get out of my head / That's just the dark side of me / Some nights, it's hard for me to fall asleep / That's just the dark side of me," sings Kiiara.
Then Ty steps up with his signature raspy delivery and talks about being done wrong.
"I'm not afraid, I am not afraid / Sick of the oppression and all the hate / Money and the power, social rank / Lot of pride now, not enough loyalty," he sings.
Afterwards, Kiiara comes back in for another chorus, before Future closes things out with a verse about Ferraris and mushrooms.
Besides being on the Bright movie soundtrack, Ty continues to collaborate with everyone and their mother. Recently, he teamed up with Ashanti on the song "Say Less," and he recently collaborated with PartyNextDoor on the song "Put It On." In August, he linked up with Wiz Khalifa in the video for "Something New," so it doesn't seem like he's slowing down at all.
Future, meanwhile, is on N.E.R.D's new star-studded album No One Ever Really Dies, and not too long ago we shared the single "Stand Up," where the Atlanta rapper teamed up with Fabolous and Jadakiss.
