Esoterik x James Crooks Drop a Fresh New Single 'Be Like You (Feat. Asta)'

Esoterik and James Crooks have teamed up to present ‘Be Like You’, a collaborative effort between the two friends, whose similar taste in both music and humour has delivered a song that is honest, raw and undeniably catchy. 

As one-third of hip-hop powerhouse Bliss N Eso, Esoterik (aka Eso) has become one of the most recognisable voices and loved personalities in contemporary Australian music. After he kicked a decade-long heavy drinking habit while on tour overseas, Esoterik is the birth of a clear vision, an animal-like drive. The energy which he once burned elsewhere is now funnelled into a positive outlet for a man with a lot to say.

Esoterik’s trademark high energy and off-the-wall intensity has only amplified with his new-found clarity.This track is a clear definition of this direction.

Written as a letter to his younger self, Esoterik explains, “The lyrics for Be Like You allow me to express my love for the new worlds I have found since giving up my 10 year battle with alcohol. At first I thought I was talking to myself through the song, but after a few listens I realised that the lyrics could easily be about anyone who might be struggling with their own addictions, and in turn this could be a letter to them.”
