Lush organic vibes present a colourful but spacious, even minimal introduction, to a smoothly flowing indie-pop single that’s effectively both alternative and radio-ready.
Blending conceptual relevance with smart and sharp lyrical framing, Undercut takes a simple topic and excels amidst it, offering an exploration of attraction, of relationship complexity, which feels completely new, as we’re taken through these scenes, experiences, and feelings.
Undercut delivers a unique and engaging collaboration, between long-time producer Santa Fe, and singer and songwriter Caitie Jayde. The finished vibe is that of organic piano and rhythms, nostalgic keys, synths, tones, and a simple, light but softly impassioned vocal lead. It’s a refreshingly genuine live sound – think timeless indie pop or even jazz and folk-pop – a song fit for the summertime, but a story more striking and poetically confident in its relaying of desire and infatuation.
Back to basics in a way, but a much needed return if so. Santa Fe captures a moment that’s comforting and awakening all at once, with the raw materials, original melodies, and brilliantly intriguing writing, of Undercut.
