East London artist/producer and songwriter Strike with his new song ‘Can I Walk With You’ produced by Tom Misch. The track has a nice chilled vibe about it and Strike explains… “it’s about some of the things I think about while I walk around London on my daily travels. I believe that though we all think we think different things, we actually think more similarly than not. Therefore all of us can relate to someone else if we actually spoke about what we think. The best time to do this sometimes is to walk and talk.”
