Toronto-born and based artists Kid DET and Sad Classes deliver a slow-burn masterclass in vulnerability and melodic flow with their new single 'In This Bed,' the latest drop from their album 'Soul Food II: At The Cabin.' Produced by the duo themselves and released under Finest Edge Music Inc., the song dives deep into the emotional wreckage left behind when love turns to distance — and the night feels too long to face alone.
After the success of their first single 'Rearview' and its cinematic Fatty Soprano-directed video, 'In This Bed' slows things down, offering a glimpse into the quieter, more reflective corners of their artistry. The track’s R&B-infused production pairs moody keys and atmospheric basslines with the duo’s raw, confessional lyricism. It's heartbreak and honesty wrapped in midnight rhythm.
“In my room dreaming ‘bout you, I can’t sleep in this bed without you,” they sing — a refrain that captures the song’s ache and intimacy. Built on late-night emotion, the record blends hip-hop’s storytelling instincts with R&B’s melodic vulnerability. It’s a record made for anyone who’s ever stared at the ceiling, replaying the sound of someone they can’t forget.
The single sits at the emotional center of 'Soul Food II: At The Cabin,' their 12-track follow-up to 2017’s 'Soul Food: Road Trip.' Where the first album chronicled youth and movement, the sequel dives into introspection — love, loss, growth, and the space between. 'In This Bed' is that still moment when reflection hits hardest, and the silence speaks loudest.
The song’s lyrics came from a shared sense of longing. Kid DET and Sad Classes wrote and produced the track together, building it around late-night studio sessions that blurred the lines between heartbreak and healing. The duo’s chemistry — polished by years of collaboration and friendship — is what makes the record so immediate and true.
Their sound defies easy labels, drifting between hip-hop, melodic rap, pop-rock, and alternative R&B. It’s a mix that reflects their city: diverse, emotional, and full of motion. On 'In This Bed,' that hybrid energy becomes something new — a confession over rhythm, a journal entry that plays like a love song.
The music video for 'In This Bed' extends that story visually, directed once again by Fatty Soprano. Set against soft lighting and intimate framing, it captures the emotional pull between memory and presence — two people caught between what was and what could’ve been. It’s less performance than moment, a cinematic snapshot of heartbreak and desire.
On the production side, the single continues their tradition of building everything from the ground up. Recorded and mixed in collaboration with engineer Sammy Sosa, 'In This Bed' captures the clarity and precision that’s become part of their sound. It’s their craftsmanship — not just their lyrics — that makes the record resonate.
As the second single from 'Soul Food II: At The Cabin,' 'In This Bed' marks another evolution in the duo’s storytelling. If 'Rearview' was about reflection, this one is about confrontation — the quiet kind that comes when the lights are off and the truth finally hits. It’s intimate. It’s human. And it proves that Kid DET and Sad Classes are writing their next chapter in real time.
