Summer vibes by way of soulful, smooth vocals and a catchy hook – Centric and Cjae collaborate for the nostalgic and vocally impressive single Do Time.
Firmly rooted amidst the Pop and RnB songwriting of a simpler era, the heartbreak song with the memorable metaphor, Do Time also makes sure to modestly incorporate elements of Afrobeat in its unique rhythm both from the beat and the flow of each artist. That dynamic between the two voices is also a key aspect of what gifts the single an unmistakable finish, the natural earworm of the hook elevated by the effective structure and sublime performances along the way.
Do Time gets the chemistry just right, taking music fans back but also lighting up the current space with those contemporary traits, shifting flows, and the celebratory but scornful juxtaposition of the chorus.
It’s an easy to vibe to track, with a refreshingly smart thread of lyrics both accessible and new. The production is brilliant, from subtle strings to electric guitar, keys and the overall progression of the groove, and Do Time effortlessly showcases the very best of the abilities of both Centric and CJae.
