New York-based artist Emily Ryan collaborates with Brooklyn rapper Fivio Foreign, to deliver a catchy blend of creativity and mainstream hip hop and pop, for the alluring and euphoric new anthem DISCREET.
Encapsulating the sentiments of the title for a late-night romantic expression, DISCREET blends distorted pop-rock peaks with softer acoustic dips, for a melodic earworm that’s satisfying in its familiarity but also admittedly distinct in the clear vocal nuance and character of Emily Ryan as a leading artist.
With soaring electric guitar riffs keeping things indie-rock on the one hand, and a more cinematic pop tone intertwined as the soundscape evolves – something almost I’ll Be Missing You reminiscent during the quieter moments – DISCREET is both an anthem and an intimate reflection of desire.
The late-night subject matter unites well with the mood of the music, the lyrics and the tuneful patterns all seem mainstream-ready, but the genre-fusion, the personality of the voices, the dynamic, all brings an essential twist of originality. That balance should let DISCREET fly high through pop and hip hop playlists far and wide this summer.
