Summary:
Soleil has a beautiful & powerful voice that cuts through the mix without being overbearing. It’s a nice blend of sounding clear, consistent & seductive. I wouldn’t be surprised if you get lost in a trance listening to her float over the entire beat.
“Now I’m asking why/We should even try/Baby you & I”
The chorus is definitely the most distinct & catchy portion of this rich song. Soleil demands the person in mind to choose a side & stick with it, after asking the big question: Whose side you on?
“Look me in the eyes when you pick a side”
Soleil actually produced this song alongside the notorious Aston Marton. There is A LOT going on with the instrumental. The drums are the most prominent piece of the song, as it’s filled with lots of groovy/bouncy percussion & drum patterns. The punchy Kick drum hits hard while complimenting the moving bass sequence. There are many different breaks/patterns to ensure that the beat stays varied & interesting. All of chords, synths, melodies, etc. sound very majestic & atmospheric. Everything blends together for a magical experience; perfect for any dance floor/party/club.
Overall:
Soleil has crafted a sound that’s very accessible for fans of many genres. Her incredible looks are matched with talent that is hard to find nowadays. If you’re looking for a new song for your Spring playlist, this one definitely will capture the mood of the season (and will have the dance floor going nuts).
