Blu DeTiger has teamed up with Australian art-pop vocalist Mallrat for a new single called “Cut Me Down,” out now via Capitol Records. The two artists trade verses, while Blu handles the hypnotic bassline (she also produced the song alongside John Hill and Sam Homaee).

“’Cut Me Down’ is a self-talk anthem—reminding myself not to let someone cut me down. It’s a groovy, sad bop,” said Blu DeTiger. “I feel like this song is a nice evolution for me and a side of me that people haven’t heard, but the soul-full chords and movement of the bassline anchor it in the Blu DeTiger sound. This is one of the most melodic and moving bass parts I’ve written, and it follows and supports the vocals in a really cool way.

“The pitched-up vocals are like my higher angels speaking to me, and they’re doing it with some spunk and attitude and aloofness,” DeTiger continued. “I also got to collaborate with my good friend Mallrat on this song. I have been a fan of hers for so long—I just love her tone, flow, and character in her voice. I think it fits and elevates this song perfectly.”
