Creatively bringing together retro gamer tones and deeply emotive writing, intertwined amidst a rising energy rhythm and soundscape that further the overall artistic appeal – watchman gets colourful and profound, with the wonderfully genre-fusing NVM!
Resounding initially for the gentle placement of Nevermind, the song feels like emo-rap at first, later pop-punk, and elsewhere like melodic alt-pop of faultless production and structure.
Cleanly crafted, refreshingly so despite the effects and programming, NVM! is an emotive and catchy song, boldly personal in its poetic relaying of the protagonist’s story, yet still contemporary in tone and intricacies.
From one moment to the next, contrast is utilised to a superb degree – the ride is powerful, captivating, energising, and rightfully underlines the lyrical progression in a manner that showcases a clear artist connection to the subject matter.
Brilliant, a fine example of what’s possible in popular music once the walls come down, once the writing is set free and the building blocks are fearlessly yet skilfully toyed with.
