‘Lucky Lady’ has a strong sense of storytelling about it that immediately shows listeners there’s something to be said, as opposed to this just being music to grab your attention. The overall vibe of the sound is fairly laid back, and this works well – the vocal performances have a mid-level amount of energy to them, slightly more upbeat than the music itself, but only lightly energetic so as not to contrast too heavily and make things less effective. Everything in fact seems to work well with everything else surrounding it.
The structure of the track is noticeable, and well crafted – the varying sections lean upon each other and really compliment everything around them. The melody section has the emotion, gives listeners something to sing along to, something to get caught in their minds. Then the verses have the two characters about them, two different voices, two different performance styles, and this all works well too – there’s enough that changes within the walls of the track to keep it interesting and appealing at all times. The melody or hook section also keeps everything together, so it is genuinely effective, structurally and otherwise.
The performances all have the right amount of confidence and realness to them, lyrically and also in terms of the passion and the enjoyment for performing. Every section comes across as believable, and the effect of this on the whole is that the track itself leaves a lasting impression – you believe it, you listen intently, you get it caught in your mind, and most of all; you remember it. It would be good to hear more music from those involved to see where this collaboration of styles and sounds could take them in terms of alternative themes and feelings. Hopefully there’s a lot more to come.
