Diversifying an already colourful repertoire, cmon3tta delivers a totally different vibe for this single, channelling a lifelong adoration for eighties stars like Whitney Houston and Betty Who, for the disco-soaked stylistics of 98.6 Degrees.
Featuring a retro funky electro pop soundscape of sweeping gamer tones and floor-filler eighties synths, 98.6 Degrees is aptly a high-energy celebration of feeling the heat with someone, and promises a soaring instrumental breakdown that’s addictive and near-euphoric in its closing vibrancy.
Before this, however, cmon3tta lights up with confidence and respect for the feedback of a modern audience, presenting a raw edit on the vocal style – a refreshingly organic, unfiltered and genuine vocal performance (no vocoder, as per indie pop’s response in the past), and the result is an impressively recognisable, enjoyable fusion of energising, fully-loaded production, and beautifully authentic, imperfect but honest vocals.
The songwriting and passion work their magic on every level, and there’s something likably unique yet also mainstream satisfying about 98.6 Degrees, which helps it naturally stand out from the modern music scene.
From the EP cmon3tta 1, 98.6 Degrees is a catchy movie soundtrack kind of song, with a call and response from the vocal to the instrumental mid-verse refrains, and where the heat and energy build up accordingly – for a summertime anthem and jam that’s impossible to feel down about.
