Smooth vocals and a twist of electronic funk from guitars and production alike – nostalgia and anthemic resolve carefully intertwine, as the songwriting prowess of Wizherd Music Group delivers yet another versatile banger of a summer hit.
Built around the classic funky guitar rhythms of Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams, Drive You Crazy features a modern vocal blending subtle hints of rap, RnB and pop, as we move through short, snappy lines and metaphors that are quickly relatable in both lyric and melody.
Wizherd Music Group push the boundaries of genre consistently, but their music is always grounded by the essential building blocks of effective songwriting. You get solid production, a versatile approach to composition and vocal performance, and then in this case, the focused romantic party vibe designed to set the mood for both a celebration and intimacy, depending on what you need from the track.
Noting a sound as cool and confident as its artwork, Drive You Crazy stands tall on the strength of its writing, design, and not least of all, the leading performance from singer and artist Nikko London. The melody has an almost boyband anthem-esque peak during its hook, but as we roll towards those bigger vocal moments, the verses keep things nineties pop and dance for sure, and that fusion of qualities is subtle but enjoyable, and perfectly structured.
Always on hand to send in the summertime earworms, Wizherd excel themselves with this reel and clip-ready gem of a nineties influenced single, and both the writing and energy from Nikko unite perfectly to wrap things up. The final fifth is intoxicating, a classic pop crescendo that naturally promises good vibes and a lasting sense of oneness.
“Stay by my side, baby… You can fly high, baby…”
