Emerging South London duo James Lamb and Richard Craker (aka 11) is following up their recent debut single with a standout new track titled "Best of Me," which is out on Friday.

The electric new offering, premiering a day early on Variance, should further cement the pair's standing as ones to watch, earning them placement in the soundscape alongside the likes of LANY and The 1975.

"It's about not allowing negative energy to take you off your path," says Lamb of the new song. "It's about mind-state, the internal battles that we all have... It's a fight between success and failure, where success is landing all the punches."

He adds: "It’s about the importance of combating negative energies that can take you off your path. Essentially, it’s a sonic and lyrical examination of a fight between success and failure—and where success is landing the heavier punches."

As 11 continues their steady rise, "Best of Me" is an infectious showcase of what this duo has to offer.
