Crisp, organic guitar-work kicks up a funky vibe from the outset, as Kayola injects a catchy anthem of a rap hit, with Meetem.
Keeping things naturally funky and with real-time musicianship throughout, the track follows a mighty riding bass-line, maintains a four-to-the-floor rhythm and pace for that dance aura, and offers a strong dynamic in the changing vocal flow along the way.
From classic flows to fluid melodic shifts and call and response, Meetem lets the energy of the track call the shots. The vocal more than meets the bar set by this mood and intention, promising a guiding light to lay the scene with details as the music uplifts the room.
Emerging complete with a refreshingly stripped-back, calmer middle-8 section, Meetem manages to be both familiar and fresh – adopting a timeless style but introducing a cleanly-mixed and confident rap sound in the same instance.
Effectively bridging the gap between hip hop and dance, Meetum is instantly recognisable in voice and progression, and makes for an essential hit of positivity as the summer closes in.
