“Musician” is the fifth single from Porter Robinson’s sophomore album Nurture. The song depicts the internal struggle Porter felt following the release of his debut LP Worlds and how he eventually fought through worries that music was not the right path for his future.
Three elements of “Musician” are borrowed from other songs:
- A set of vocal chops are built from an unreleased collaboration between Porter and electropop trio Kero Kero Bonito;
- A classic vocal sample from “It Takes Two” by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock (which in turn took it from “Think (About It)” by Lyn Collins) is heard starting in the second verse;
- The synth fill after the second chorus references the intro of eurobeat track “Running in the 90��s” by Max Coveri.
When a Stereogum article from January 27, 2021 leaked abbreviations of most unreleased Nurture track titles, “Musician” was notably the only one whose entire title was posted. The leak has since been taken down.
