Well crafted tune that was made a tiny bit better by Poolside. This is not a knock on Poolside, for whom I have great appreciation for. It’s just the original was so well done to begin with and why I posted it a few months here.
This remix puts a bit more of a relaxed sunshine vibe that Poolside is known for. Some of the more disco elements still shine though but with a more tropical twist.
Big nod to Gorillaz in both video and music. However, we are talking about Rey Pila here. Their brand of electronic pop / rock is all their own. This time around they have incorporated some dancehall vibes into the track. I love the rolling bassline that hits another level in the chorus with the snare that lands as well.
The video illustrates the symbolism of voodoo in relation to perils of fame and power.
Elliot Moss just released a catchy and hypnotic tune named ‘I Heard!’. Clever lyrics, a repetitive chord and a grooving bass is the framework for ‘I Heard!’. Elliot Moss had this to say about the track “‘I Heard’ is about being trapped by the idea of happiness. That there’s always something better for you, but you don’t know how to get it. Or can’t get it right now,”
I like the subtle effects on his vocals as well the sax that lands later in the track.
