Straight into a catchy melody – an upbeat acoustic guitar strum and dance-ready programmed rhythms, with female vocals quickly weaving a likable tune and simple, pop-style lyrics. Psyborg delivers an organic floor-filler of a hit, with the colourful bounce and charm of Body Back.
Just 2.5 minutes in full and keeping that catchy melodic core and groove as the beating heart of the track, Body Back notes easy-going lyrics of longing and romance, with a quirky tropical riff resounding after the resolve of each title and hook.
The song is an intentional ear-worm, with an unplugged aspect and minimal effects letting the modern production tools feel almost like a nineties pop classic in some ways.
Kelsey is the featured vocalist, with Lennart Borg on writing and production. Body Back takes no time at all to deliver its memorable hook, and proceeds to reinforce that peak with a worthy verse-chorus structure that wastes no time on filler or instrumental adlibs. It’s a complete and satisfying set-up, with a familiar overall vibe but a crisp and clean modern finish to the mix and master.
Romantic desire and separation all contemplated in simple, short lines and phrases that help the positive bounce of the music linger in a mainstream quirky fashion. There’s nothing complex to battle with, just the likable nature of the music and performance – only the essential building blocks employed, by an elusive Dutch creative with a clear passion for the celebration and optimism of pop.
