There’s so much personality & emotion in the performance as the song moves from the gentler, almost whispered verses, to the much more bold sounding hook.
Pop
Sometimes a good song is all that’s needed; nothing fancy or over the top to enhance the ideas – just the song, and a performance that means something.
The soulful smoothness of any seductive R&B classic. Connects on a deep & intimate level, as well providing those essential good vibes we rely on music for.
Every element assists the music & emotion as they evolve. The voice rises in passion, the instrumentation intensifies, the lyrics become upfront & direct.
The strength of this uniting of elements drives the song. The hook lingers in your mind long after listening & there’s a definite sense of character.
A sensational melody – hearing it once is remembering it for the long term, hearing it twice sets in stone that this is a satisfying, go-to country ballad.
The production shows itself to be well crafted towards the latter half of the song, and the whole thing becomes notably familiar the further along you get.
The production is on par with the best, the songwriting & performances add that necessary touch of humanity to really bring it into a world of its own.
The rhythm is addictive & the arrangement of the hook on top of this makes for something you’ll struggle to get out of your head for quite some time.
A meeting of the mellow & the intense, fusing a calm & ambient backdrop with an almighty beat that crashes into action to fully underline that hook section.
These snippets of positive energy & hope remind us of the things that matter, the approachable leading voice helps them to connect on a genuine level.
This fusion of synths & a dreamlike yet bouncy rhythm makes for an alternative take on EDM, angled notably in the modern pop or late eighties direction.
