From the moment the track begins, the level of skill and creativity embedded in the production is clear. The sound is crisp yet warm, the bass heavy, synth-soaked backdrop has a rather vintage energy to it, though the overall output is of a fresh and new sort of ambiance. The music is calming, easy to listen to, easy to leave on and enjoy the good vibes as you get on with your moment. There’s a lot that changes as the music develops, there are several different sections, several different vocals, as opposed to the more common verse-chorus-verse-chorus arrangement. It’s always a pleasure to come across music that follows it’s own pathway, and yet still manages to maintain an element of familiarity to that it doesn’t come across as several songs in one. The hook is clear, the key line and the melody return to centre stage appropriately, and then surrounding this there are several new moments to pay attention to.
The music is easy going, as mentioned, but there’s also an element of wanting to listen intently to make sure the concept is captured and nothing is missed. It’s a good way to keep an audience interested, though there’s nothing hugely striking about the lyrics on first listen, however – the sound is so well captured and produced that most listeners will be likely to seek out more music after listening to this initial track. That’s often the best approach with certain types of music, the energy is on point, the voices sound confident and stylish, and the music provides the good vibes people lookout for and revel in. The concept behind the lyrics is a memorable and unique one, so this alone works well in adding a little lyrical strength to match that of the music.
