MAX (@maxmusic) is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter from Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. DUCKWRTH (Jared Lee) is a rapper, musician, and designer based in Los Angeles, California. Not too long ago, they released a lovely performance video for their groovy dance-inspired single, “SAY LESS.” The songwriting credits for the song boast a stellar lineup including MAX, DUCKWRTH, Tia Scola (Ava Max), Andrew Mayer Cohen (Doja Cat), Jacob Ray (NIKI, Jackson Wang), and Michael Cody Dear (Travis Barker).
MAX & DUCKWRTH – “SAY LESS” performance video
“Getting to do this song with one of my favorite artists and one of the most humble, lovely guys I know, DUCKWRTH, has been incredible. Hopefully, [it’s the] first of many collaborations together. Hope you all enjoy.” – MAX expressed his excitement about the collaboration
Directed by MAX’s longtime collaborator, Miles Murphy (Snakehips, Vance Joy, AJR), the live performance video elevates the song’s infectious vibe, seamlessly blending MAX’s trademark pop sensibilities with DUCKWRTH’s smooth rap flow to create a pulsating fusion of pop and R&B.
“Say Less” follows the success of MAX’s viral hit, “Stupid In Love” with Huh Yunjin of Le Sserafim. The track has amassed over 30+ million streams and ignited a dance craze across Instagram Reels, Snapchat, and TikTok. MAX recently delivered an electrifying performance of the track on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and on The Kelly Clarkson Show, alongside Huh Yunjin. Furthermore, “SAY LESS” is featured on MAX’s third studio album, “LOVE IN STEREO,” released earlier this year via Warner Records.
