vibe check: does exactly what the title says, mixed with some 80’s inspired synth it makes for a sweet, melodic k-pop song.
2 CHAINZ
Pops
vibe check: luther vandross keeps living on in hip hop sampling, as does 2 Chainz’s dad in this r&b flow state paying deep tribute to his one and only.
HARRY STYLES
Carla’s Song
vibe check: it began with a Simon & Garfunkel song, Kathy’s Song, which then led to Harry naming this slow, calm Sunday melody in dedication to his friend Carla (also a fan of Simon & Garfunkel).
vibe check: if your diary was read aloud during a open mic in a smoky, jazz-like poetry club, the words are haunting and the song plays like a spiritual journey.
BTS
Swim
vibe check: this song is about self discovery and journey, perhaps an introspection of where the members are in their life now - comeback equals renewal.
