Here are 4 new tracks to help you explore the emotions of love, confidence, and yearning through unique stories and lyricism.
Janiq – Dior
‘Dior’ is an R&B-infused pop track with more than enough soul and melody to spare. The drums have a bit of a trap production style, and they work well with the starry synths and slappy bass. There’s something a little funky about the instrumentation overall which adds a great flare to things. On top of that, the vocals jump between soft and full really well, and the harmonies fill them out so much! This track does well at biting back at a toxic relationship by explaining an unneed for a man and the ability to take care of the self.
Nothing Like Robots – dRAMA qUEEN
‘dRAMA qUEEN’ has a dreamy synth sound and well-paced instrumentation. Even with its dreaminess, it has more energetic sections that are full of life. Something that stands out about the production is that the vocal filtering makes it fit the instrumentation well. In general, this track hits a great mix of cohesive and dynamic. It has a great flow between sections, but they’re diversified well. The lyrics stand out as a track of yearning for another, but it’s dashed with the fear of being alone.
Karly C – Today I Get To Say
‘Today I Get To Say’ is a gooey love song with warm acoustic instrumentation. The acoustic guitar takes the stage, and the percussion does well at entering when needed and holding the pacing. On top of that, the vocals have a lot of power and emotion behind them. They’re full but also take on more of a head voice to give them a punch. Lyrically, it tackles the concept of getting married. It explores that it comes with struggles but also shows beauty, connection, and love.
Bôbo – You Deserve Better
‘You Deserve Better’ is the perfect blend of dancey and heartfelt. The synthy instrumentation hits the perfect note where it has the energy but doesn’t rush things. The main synth riff works with spattered trap-sounding drums and other synth sounds to create the dynamics. On top of that, the riffy vocals benefit from the way they’re produced to the electronics of the track. This track is a confidence-booster telling the listener that they should only settle for what they deserve, nothing less.
