“The track from -mdws-, in which feelings is seething with its depth, in which feels like an underwater flow at the bottom of the ice ocean. The track holds the balance between the well -established style of the author and the variety of arrangements.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Очаровывающий своей глубиной Indie R&B трек от -MDWS-, в котором бурлят чувства, словно подводное течение на дне ледяного океана. Трек держит баланс между устоявшимся стилем автора и разнообразием аранжировки.”

Off the back of his debut album “Another Year” which amassed over 10 million streams and recent signing with Believe, MDWS releases his first single from his upcoming EP, Naive accompanied by a haunting video. Naive is both a sombre and explosive track for anyone who’s experienced an existential crisis after losing someone, and the feeling of inadequacy that follows.
Drawing heavily upon his own life experiences and folk background before venturing into electronic music, MDWS’ songwriter ‘Callum Mcnab’ blends his musical knowledge across genres to bring a completely new style, conveying the dissociative feelings that come with juggling the past, present and future. Naïve combines nostalgic love for folk music, hip hop drum grooves reminiscent of James Blake’s work and introspective ballad style lyrics, making it a genre-breaking track dives into some deep issues we all experience.
“This track is my favourite off my new body of work,” says Callum. “It’s probably because it hits so close to home for me. The feeling I had after splitting with my long-time partner and sitting in a half empty house with nothing, but my thoughts was something I wanted to convey in both the music and video. I have a running joke with my friends about my music always being so sad, and it’s not intentional but for me, music is a therapeutic way for me to express myself when I have a hard time with words.”
