An ever-creative Oktavvia delivers one of her most distinct dark power-pop arrangements yet this season, with the darkness, the sweeping synths, the high-octane EDM backdrop, and the anthemic, empowering chorus, of I Decide.
Featuring an up-tempo dark-pop production and impressively raw, evocative and distinct vocals, I Decide rolls through a soundscape both familiar and initially intense in its haunting details and unresolved waves of eighties rhythm and warped electronic strings.
Soon enough, as the lyrics guide us into the depths of this deeply personal story, we reach a hugely uplifting crescendo of a hook, and suddenly the song takes a motivational and celebratory turn, towards something addictively powerful.
Always a master of intricate and evocative dark pop, Oktavvia presents something particularly intriguing and recognisable here, presenting both a fiercely unmistakable production and vocal performance alike.
From complex verses we reach a more relatable hook and peak, and that structural prowess lets the song effectively blend alternative and mainstream qualities in an original and enchanting fashion.
“This song doesn’t argue, it closes the door.”
