London rapper Dave is back with his first new music since last year's We're All Alone In This Together. "Starlight," which gets a video directed by Dave and Nathan Tettey, cleverly interpolates Frank Sinatra's 1954 classic "Fly Me To The Moon." Over a hummed melody, Dave waxes poetic about his life changes and career wins: "It’s hard to hate on the truth I’m livin’/ Enough man hate with the lies instead/ Countin’ cash with the phone to my ear/ I feel like Meek on the private jet/ Life or death, five-five, eyes, thighs, potential wifey/ Industry, respected highly, in the street, protected."

Watch "Starlight" below.
