New Jersey-born and Atlanta-based artist Russ is back with a breezy and heartfelt new single, "Can't Get This Right." However, this track feels less like a new drop and more like business as usual for the rapper: a quality track every couple of weeks. Moreover, his last single was "PUT YOU ON GAME" just a few weeks ago, a hyped and boastful trap cut. He put out a load of singles last year, each with similar art styles but with pretty varied sonic pallets. Whether he's working towards a compilation project or just dropping what he feels, his fans are well-fed.
Furthermore, "Can't Get This Right" is a melodic, emotive, and classic-sounding effort from the 30-year-old. While the track is about a relationship coming to an end despite both sides' efforts, it's not really a downer. For example, the high-pitched vocal samples in the background give the track a positive, chipmunk-soul energy. Also, the crisp and steady R&B beat will make you bob your head regardless of whether you relate to the heartbroken lyrics. In terms of Russ's performance, he maintains a light and confident middle register as he switches between the sung chorus and melodic verses. Still, it contrasts his expressions and reflections on this track, indicating a painful and yearning end to a crumbling relationship.
While the rapper acknowledges that something needs to change in him and his partner, he realizes they can't grow together. But enough about relationship issues; what did you think of Russ's new track, "Can't Get This Right"?

Quotable Lyrics
We both know what to do, but pride is in the way-way
We both obsessed with bein' right, can't walk away-way
And everytime wе fight, we question the rеlationship
We don't know if we makin' it, it feels like ain't no savin' it
