Songwriting strength above all else – a sense of melody, groove, purpose and emotion all carefully intertwined, but in a strictly non-methodical fashion. Bedolina strikes a perfect balance, with the brilliantly anthemic earworm We Are The Clock Ourselves Again.
Built around an up-tempo combination of bass and beat, with flickers of electric guitar and call-and-response backing vocals, the single follows a distinct tune throughout a series of looping lines that prove both intriguing and satisfying as they gather momentum.
It’s a simple set-up, in theory, but it works – the music is engaging, the descending patterns and the quiet moments in between vocals as crucial as the chorus moments themselves in carving out something addictively enjoyable.
That lyrical aspect of mystique is also essential, elevating things from purely likable to quite powerful and inspiring. The final moments are boldly impassioned, and as such, the whole thing lingers in your mind after listening.
A fantastic example of effective and alluring songwriting intertwined with recording efficiency. Bedolina is one to watch.
