Ambient mellow dance production surrounds the impassioned vocals of producer and artist David V Golden, as the original single I Gotta Be Me emerges remastered and refreshed for 2024.
Deeply rooted in its own evocative journey towards self-acceptance, I Gotta Be Me celebrates the freedom of the self by way of a ballad-like keys progression and rising anticipation. David injects long-form melodic verses on top of this set-up, to explore with conviction and nostalgia the truth of his own experiences.
Vulnerability is key, but the sound offers an electronic vastness to meet with the repeating energy of certain moments, to ultimately present an enchanting and hypnotic realm. The performance is admittedly raw, a genuine take but well-mixed within a reverb-drenched chamber of reflective and atmospheric embrace.
Recognisable by vocal tone, emotional peaks and its unique production traits, I Gotta Be Me resounds with a sort of eighties-esque melodic conviction – a likable fusion of melancholy and optimism that stands tall in both the composition and the lyrical venture.
David V Golden moves with authenticity as an indie artist, fearlessly displaying the highs and lows of his approach to life and music, and in the process delivering an electro-pop single of engaging instrumental and vocal fragments that seek to inspire and uplift.
