Celebrating the essence of life and the value of appreciating the little things that light up each day, renowned indie producer Big O presents a delightful stroll down a modern jazz instrumental lane, with the uplifting optimism and immersive calm of A Better (Me).
Featuring the sublime talents of saxophonist IB Delight, the music pairs Big O’s unrivalled creative production with smooth vibes and soulful melodic exploration that meanders freely through the mix. We’re in a contemporary jazz and lounge realm, but with brilliantly original rhythms as the beating heart of the arrangement.
From minimal, atmospheric beginnings, the originality of Big O’s beat is the first thing to raise the bar for this gem of a track. Somewhat organic industrial in its stomping, pile-up feel, the beat is followed by a four-chord synth pattern and the quickly intoxicating passion of IB Delight’s saxophone lead. Weave in the warmth of bass and the dreamy hints of further instrumental detailing, and the track pours through like a fine wine – gracefully strengthening its grip with every few moments that pass.
The leading single from Big O’s highly-anticipated new LP When it’s not Said, But Done, A Better (Me) invites listeners into the embrace of humble but impressively engaging instrumental comfort. The track balances its inherent soul and passion with a mellow, soothing groove, and proceeds to offer a sense of clarity and gratitude that can easily stay with you for the rest of your day.
There are always new opportunities ahead, chances to grow and become our best selves, and by all accounts, the upcoming album from Big O will provide a much-needed encapsulation of that truth.
