Flicker Lyrics

Flicker Song Chart

This cut features Japanese speech sampled from translation software chopped-up into a sort of rap. Included among the samples is Remon Yamano's laugh from the Japanese anime television series Waiting in the Summer.

Robinson told Radio.com the track has roots in the late Detroit hip-hop production legend, Jay Dilla. "I very much love chipmunked-up soul beats. Just late Jay Dilla-t stuff," he explained. "I think that the reason I love soul samples is because of the Daft Punk Discovery album, which remains my favorite album of all time. So when I heard the same style of records in a hip-hop context I was really, really in love when I was younger."

"I was messing with soul samples and made this little beat just for fun, at least I thought," Robinson continued. "Then I'd made this MP3 of taking a bunch of titles I had in a notepad and ran them through a Japanese text to speech program and it spit out this basically nonsensical Japanese text and I cut it up into this little rap and I was just so charmed by that. It's the two sides of me, very much… that's one of my favorite songs on the album."
