Electronic Pop | House
Upbeat fun tune for summer from French duo Bubble Boat. The chorus reminds me of an ELO melody that they would use. The production sports an almost slide guitar sound with a bouncing synth bassline and a Hawaiian-esque lead guitar. They have a knack for blending traditional instruments with electronic textures and sounds. Also for blending genres like pop, rock, and electronica.
This is the latest single from the duo Gravity Circus (Japanese Jimmy “Onibi” Nagaura Yabiko and Dutch German Ken “Toro” Luske). The track opens with up with a melancholy chord progression on acoustic guitar and Jimmy’s scratchy voice that is perfectly matched to the overall vibe. The track progresses to the chorus which is a blend of indie pop and electronica with it’s electronic textures that are tastefully placed. The melody of the chorus is beautiful as well as the ambience.
The song tells a tale of memories past that still haunt but with a yearning to let it be and to move forward.
This has to be my favorite song thus far of 2020. From the start this track got me and didn’t let go. Love the production and the vocal warping effect they have at the midway point. This track is so well done and the chord structure is so satisfying. Even the music video for this track is well done. I like when the hair stylist starts to get into the groove. This is the first cut from the forthcoming album due out in September 2020.
