One of 2017’s breakout talents continues to prove he is much more than an overnight sensation.

Ah, blackbear. Of all the artists from 2017 who have made a splash in the physical world after becoming an undeniable digital success none have made the transition better than blackbear. The release of Digital Druglord should have been enough to carry the rapper turned singer turned pop sensation into the new year, but it wasn’t enough for him.

Wednesday, just before Thanksgiving, blackbear took to streaming channels to share a new single titled “Anxiety”. The song, which is a collaboration with FRND, is taken from blackbear’s upcoming Cybersex record (due out on Monday, November 27). You can stream the song below:

The lyrics for “Anxiety” are as follows:

[Intro: Blackbear]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse: Blackbear]
Every time you cross my mind you get right under my skin
Am I crazy out my mind the situation I’m in
And it gets harder just to breathe feel like the walls are closing in
All I need is some closure

[Pre Chorus: Blackbear]
Yeah, I can’t eat I can’t sleep I get anxiety
When you’re not here with me I get anxiety
I can’t eat I can’t sleep don’t know why you can’t see
You give me, You give me, give me

[Chorus: Blackbear]
Anxiet xiet-xiet xiet-xiet xiet xiety
Xiet-xiet-xiet-xiet
Give me Anxiety
Anxiet xiet-xiet xiet-xiet xiet xiety-ty
Xiet-xiet-xiet-xiet
Anxiety

[Verse: FRND]
Every time I smile what I’m doing fine does it show
Cause’ I’m really freaking out too scared of letting you go
Then my heart drowns out my thoughts my head’s about to explode
What I need is some closure

[Pre Chorus: Blackbear]
I can’t eat I can’t sleep I get anxiety
When you’re not here with me I get anxiety
I can’t eat I can’t sleep don’t know why you can’t see
You give me, You give me, give me

[Chorus: Blackbear]
Anxiet xiet-xiet xiet-xiet xiet xiety
Xiet-xiet-xiet-xiet
Give me Anxiety
Anxiet xiet-xiet xiet-xiet xiet xiety-ty
Xiet-xiet-xiet-xiet xiet-xiety
Anxiety, it feels way inside of me

[Pre Chorus: Blackbear & FRND]
Every time I smile what I’m doing fine does it show
Cause’ I’m really freaking out too scared of letting you go
I can’t eat I can’t sleep I get anxiety
When you’re not here with me I get anxiety
I can’t eat I can’t sleep don’t know why you can’t see
You give me, You give me, give me anxiety

[Outro: Blackbear]
Anxiety
Give me anxiety
Anxiety

We have heard a lot of material from blackbear this year, but “Anxiety” feels like a clear escalation in terms of quality and overall catchiness. This is the kind of single you could play at terrestrial radio for months, but it could also make for an underground sensation, just like the best tracks blackbear has released to date. If Cybersex has even one more song as good as this, I think we may see blackbear appearing two times on many end of the year lists. Comment below and let us know if you agree.
