Skindred are just weeks away from releasing You Got This, and for their next single, the Welsh outfit opt for a softer sound. "Can I Get A" continues in the vein of the album's title track as far as optimism and moral support, albeit with a relaxed feel. Frontman Benji Webbe raps his way through the verses as a honky-tonk piano and acoustic guitars wrap the listener in an embrace. The chorus is a sway-along and a sing-along all at once.
Check out the music video directed by Steve Clarke below:
The song is included in the recently released The Singles, which compiles eight songs from the band's last album Smile, as well as the upcoming You Got This. The latter drops on April 17th via Earache Records.
