Destroy Lonely's newest project "If Looks Could Kill (Directors Cut)" serves as an expanded version of his debut album "If Looks Could Kill" released in November 2021. The director's cut builds upon the original with 5 additional tracks for a total of 27 songs.
Musically, the album sticks to Lonely's signature experimental trap sound. Dark, eerie instrumentals are paired with Lonely's wispy but aggressive vocals. Production comes primarily from Lonely himself as well as Wheezy Got Juice and Personal Best.
Lyrically, Lonely touches on themes of paranoia, drug use, and narcissism over moody trap beats. His lyrics are cryptic and haunting, painting portraits of loneliness and darkness.
Overall, the director's cut fleshes out Lonely's debut with more experimental ideas and collaborative tracks. It cements his sound and establishes him as a riveting new voice pushing the boundaries of trap music. For fans of the original, it's worth revisiting the expanded vision on "If Looks Could Kill (Directors Cut)."
