What a great track, quickly entrancing and addictive in everything from the natural groove of that tribal-like beat to the cool and calm ear-worm quality of that leading vocal line. The vocal effect perhaps gives the song’s hook even more weight, creating an inviting and anthem-like aura that’s impossible to ignore. Either way, the simple intricacies that have crafted this release all work beautifully together to offer something stylish and original, creatively dark yet expressive and hypnotic as it pours through.

Rather than needing to introduce some unforgettable or ear-worm-like quality, The Flat Nasty lets the natural strength of the music and of honest expression make the experience worthwhile. It’s an easy must for the longer term playlist because there’s nothing flashy or fake about it. The musicianship is high quality yet humble, the same goes for the vocals, and all in all the song leaves you with a grand feeling of well-being and optimism.

There are a few things about this track that give it character – the vocal sound is one, that unpredictable melody is another. Even during the latter half, the music brings in an organic guitar sound that helps fuse a little more world-music into the moment. The beat falls away and subsequently re-gathers momentum before an equally unexpected drop. At this point, the track explodes into a downpour of multi-layered synths and notes. The fullness here is overwhelming, whatever delicacy there was before is replaced by sheer energy, vibrancy and volume. A few simple chords and a descending riff are all it takes, and from an artistic perspective – this outro could be said to quite effectively represent the height of this concept, of mad love itself.

As suggested, The Flat Nasty’s voice is immensely original right now – his tone and this calm yet gritty delivery style has personality written all over it. Furthermore, his ability to meet with and maintain the natural flow and pace of the music is unwavering – flawless even. The whole thing pours through with the perfect bounce and power to give it genuine weight among its peers in this genre.

There’s a realness to the vibe, the accompanying video furthers this and lets you get a better image of the artist in his zone. The performance seems natural, honest, and with the musical backdrop being a fairly simple and vintage rhythm the strength has to lie in the vocal delivery in order to keep things moving and to hold tight to your interest. The Flat Nasty keeps things entertaining and engaging right the way through, and a fine production job lets that shine precisely as it needs to.
