I hear printing. The sound of a printer running the page back through to print double-sided. Not sure why, but I love that as the opening sound. Then the melody begins and immediately I am thrown into summer, enjoying a party on the beach with “Until the End” playing in the background. That printing noise is still there, but again, it adds such a unique feel to the melody. It is finally phased out in favor of bass and percussion which keep my foot tapping while my mind drifts to a warm place with hot sand and ice cold drinks.
The vocals are easily noticed next, and boy are they fantastic. Michelle Molineux’s voice echoes across the space from your speakers to your ears and you can almost picture her laying down these vocals in some outdoor studio. This entire song screams summer and beach-front fun. I’m quite glad summer is fast approaching because I dearly want to blast this outside and start an impropmtu dance party somewhere. The vocals are light and airy to keep with the summer atmosphere of the rest of the song.
Nearly 3/4 of the way through the song and we are introduced to a breakdown of sorts where some grimy beats are laid down and the vocals change to match. I love how out of the blue it appears in the song, and then how the melodies return in a brilliant transition. It is almost as though it is a hidden gem you must listen all the way through to find. Check out the song for yourself below and make sure you look into more of J-Hamz tracks as they will surely catch your ear.
