Detroit singer and Saddle Creek Records’ latest signee, Stef Chura is making quite a splash. For her first new collection of songs for the label, Chura is enlisting the production of Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo for forthcoming album, Midnight slated to be release on June 7.
To give fans a taste of what’s to come, Chura dropped new single, “Method Man”. When asked about the inspiration behind the track, the Michigan native told The Fader, “a long time ago I was pondering the literal words ‘Method Man’ while listening to Wu-Tang. There was a person in my life that I had a confusing array of emotions for, sometimes I was in love with him, I admired and looked up to him, I thought of him as superior to me. He was older than me and I was a teenager. At that age I experienced a titanic amount of anxiety that usually expressed itself as silence.”
Later adding, “this song was born out of a total frustration regarding a man who seemed “methodical” to me. He was literate. He waxed poetic. Almost someone…how do I say this…that you wanted to be condescending to you? As long as they were talking to you. He drank a lot of energy drinks and had this overall outlook that no one understood him. That he was in on some kind of cosmic secret that I couldn’t get. He smoked so many cigs it stained his fingers yellow.”
