Summertime indie pop with bright vocals and a retro production warmth that’s comforting to lose yourself within. cmon3tta releases an alternative version of the dance track checkm8, with this Poptastic! new take.
Featuring a more traditional instrumental backdrop noting piano, acoustic guitar and multiple layers of synths, keys, rhythms and vocals, this arrangement of checkm8 lets the natural emotion and celebratory passion of the song resound in a whole new way. The single takes influence from cmon3tta’s traditional singer-songwriter roots, and quickly feels like an electro-pop or pop rock classic from the nineties, with an anthemic beating heart that is the constant satisfying return to the chorus and title.
That hook is mighty, akin to the boyband hits from a simpler time, only with an original concept and vocal style to really let you sink your teeth into something new. It’s a real-music capture, and the single highlights yet again the clear songwriting ability, talent and precision of cmon3tta. The song is quirky and incredibly catchy, with vocal harmonies raining down to fill up the outer layers between bars, and with a four-to-the-floor band support system that’s easy to visualise in the live setting.
Putting every ounce of energy and confidence into the performance, cmon3tta showcases the very best of a growing catalogue of original songs, with the timeless positivity and charm of checkm8 (Poptastic! Demo Version).
