it’s a great Friday when a Sweetune tune pops up on my random shuffle. I haven’t been shy about my emotions towards this manufacturing crew and this tune comes instantly from their imperial section.
If we take a look at Ok-pop boy teams right this moment, there are distinct ideas with particular songwriting kinds connected to every. We’ve nonetheless received the bubbly, vibrant melodic fare (normally my favourite). We’ve received the moody, vibey stuff that always sacrifices power and melody in favor of environment. Then, we’ve received the shouty, chanty unhealthy boy posturing crap. Only a few songs exist exterior these templates, and a tune like Boyfriend’s I Yah simply doesn’t exist in any respect. That is the type of tune — edgy and highly effective however not shouty, emotional however not boring — that first drew me to Ok-pop. For the lifetime of me, I don’t perceive why the trade deserted it.
I Yah is an absolute dynamo. Funky guitar riffs kind its ultra-rhythmic instrumental, accented with synth that drips with texture. Vocal hooks abound, swirling throughout the propulsive instrumental with glee. The refrain forges an amazing presence, bringing the fellows’ vocals collectively to craft a triumphant wall of sound. And this being a Sweetune manufacturing, we also have a key change on the climax to drive dwelling I Yah‘s single-minded pursuit. It’s intense with no lulls, no sing-talk, and no shouting. Ok-pop producers: you can nonetheless make tracks like this. I’m certain Boyfriend could be joyful to lend you this legendary tune as inspiration.
