Stylish bass and sultry nostalgic production lays the foundation for an ultimately contemporary anthem that’s instantly catchy. Dousiiee collaborates with Toochie310 and Manny wav, for the alluring and easy-going earworm Got Soul.
Somewhat organically soulful by design, the soundscape for Got Soul sets a mood reminiscent of a much simpler era in music. Weave in that beat though, and these effected frontline vocals – varied in pace and maintaining a sense of poetic contemplation and captivating energy – and we’re into a fresh realm of style and satisfying musical progressions.
Vocally diversity is the key to holding attention here, the featured artist meandering from short and memorable lines to a much faster-paced mid-section, which very nearly turns into rap as it gathers passionate momentum and lyrical depth.
What appears to be a simple ode to love soon explores the concept of loss and the fear associated with losing someone who means so much to you. Seeing demons in the rear-view is a brilliant metaphorical encapsulation of the subtle anticipation for doom and gloom that often resides in the minor shadows cast by true love.
An original track, distinct yet in keeping with the current scene, and a worthy testament to the talent and creativity of Dousiiee.
