Beneath Your Beautiful

Jo Jo Wright from KIIS-FM interviewed Labrinth and asked him about the meaning of ‘Beneath Your Beautiful’: “What makes it special for me and a lot of people is that is peels away all the rubbish for a minute. There’s no fun in it, there’s no fake in it […] It’s just honesty. That’s what I feel the song is for me. It kinda takes me to that next level […] Personally. Seeing beyond being cool, being a star, being rich and being everything I am. He added: “I’ve had great success in the UK, and the more massive you get the more you get caught up […] and you forget about being the real you. For me, it was ‘stay real’.”
