| September, 2024 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, genre-defying artist Duckwrth unveils his highly anticipated single “Had Enough,” a raw and introspective exploration of the darker sides of indulgence and escapism. Over a unique blend of glittery funk and alt-rock production, he confronts the treacherous allure of alcohol and drugs, delving into the chaos and toxicity that often accompany these vices. The track captures that critical moment where one stands at a crossroads: to continue down a destructive path or to seek a healthier way out.
The narrative-driven single sees Duckwrth personify alcohol as an enticing “brown-eyed demon from the west side.” This character symbolizes the seductive yet destructive nature of alcohol, serving as a metaphor for Duckwrth’s own struggles with his vices and its impact on his personal relationships. He addresses the pain he has caused himself and others, highlighting the impact of substance abuse on relationships. “Seeing the pain you inflict on someone else, how it affects them emotionally, the loss of trust—they can’t even be around you,” he says. “That hurt makes you really want to look inward and better understand yourself.”
Directed by Alex ‘Grizz’ Loucas, the music video takes viewers on a visceral journey, with Duckwrth delivering a captivating performance as he dances through the intoxicating allure of temptation. His choreography powerfully mirrors the struggle with alcohol, each movement reflecting the push and pull of desire and restraint.
Duckwrth’s decision to share his personal journey through “Had Enough” is a bold move, revealing a side of him that fans have yet to see. This new release marks a departure into more vulnerable and honest storytelling, establishing Duckwrth as both a wild storyteller and a relatable human being.
An international touring sensation, Duckwrth’s captivating performances and unique aesthetic have made him a beacon of individual expression. He has sold out headline shows worldwide and performed at major festivals like Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. He has also supported superstars such as Billie Eilish, Anderson .Paak, Flying Lotus, and NER*D.
