Chartreaux (Jesse Boykins III & Sinden) – Never A Dull Moment

Over the past year or so, Jesse Boykins III has been totally in his own lane when it comes to R&B and soul music, everything that he’s done has oozed class and all of his collaborations have made artists create a totally new dimension to their sound, with the end result always being excellence.

Here’s the latest of those collaborations, teaming up with British producer Sinden in a collective that they now call Chartreaux and this is one of the smoothest, most flawless pieces of music that I’ve heard in a long time.

In Sinden’s own words, here is how the pair’s collaborations came about:

I started working with Jesse at the beginning of 2011. It was a frosty evening, New York , Jesse’s home city. We hung out for the first time there and I kicked it with him, Woo and his crew at their studio. It was a positively natural link up, full of creative potential, vibes, inspiration, laughing and riding around the subway where we went to catch his boy Chris Turner perform at a BET event. That evening we chilled after, Jesse played me some joints that were frankly mindblowing. I knew that we’d murder some tracks together. Soon after that we kept our promise and started knocking out some ideas. Whenever Jesse was in London, we’d jump in the studio and spark up a session. We’ve been going to and fro ever since, dropping the dynamic ‘High Demand’, joint hosting a Red Bull lecture and finally unveiling our new moniker, Chartreaux.

Lyrics:

I can stand the test of times with the worst of them,
have the the best of times with the worst of friends,
unsuspected rhymes in my comfort zone,
undetected lies is what I thrive on,
I could miss the times when you were around,
counts the mines as I dodge the ground,
flying high with no fuel left,
Its like I know all the lines, but I lose my breath.

Never a dull moment,searching for dull moments,
never a dull moment, when you were here
Don’t go I need we so, I need we so.
When you were here..

I been losing sleep, trying to stay away
been on the run, trying to hesitate
fast pacing traces, of forgotten smiles
do you think of me once in a while
I’m not quiet sure what I ate today
but Im sure I cleaned the plate
should of never asked if you were down to wait
on moments you already participated in
one lost, zero wins
and its a waste of breath, when I lose my breath.

Never a dull moment,searching for dull moments,
never a dull moment, when you were here
Don’t go I need we so, I need we so.
When you were here.
