LYRICS:
Gotta get my mind clear
Got nothing to lose
Gotta get my pink stray
Jazz away them blues

Still got my fake
But it's gettin loud
Now all these voices
Keep spinning round

Still above my skate
But a place in mind
He's closing me in
Such words that grind

I'm familiar Jenny
Missed them signs
I bare my positions
Flip over time

I'm trying not to break down
I'm holding on too tight now
Let go
Let go
I'm holding on too tight now
B R E A K D O W N
B R E A K D O W N

I'll breakdown
All eyes on me
I see you right
Right inside of me

Tell my back I'll be back too
'Cause there's not much to lose
I'll beep my past
Still my blood beats blue

I'm trying not to break down
I'm holding on too tight now
Let go
Let go
I'm holding on too tight now
B R E A K D O W N
B R E A K D O W N

"Breakdown" feat. Darondo is an alternate version to the album track "Let Go (Breakdown)", the latter having appeared on Russell's acclaimed 2013 'To Dust' LP. (This single package also includes the album cut as a B side.) In addition to the incredible, heartfelt tones of UK soul sensation Alice Russell, the alternate version of "Breakdown" was given an additional depth and lustre by the collaborative input of late, great soul vocalist Darondo, who sadly passed away in 2013 shortly after its original release. Despite being a relatively exclusive, underground track - having originally appeared as a digital bonus cut, and on a Record Store Day vinyl release - its viscerally soulful energy, unshakable hooks and spirited harmonies have seen this song bubbling up into the spotlight; previous high profile syncs have also included hit US drama The Blacklist.
