Music knows no bounds. That is a clear and true testament to Michellar’s newest track, ‘Game of Love’ featuring Rad Datsun. Regardless of distance, these artists were able to create a song that would capture their passion in R&B and Soul.
‘Game of Love’ started with this low-filtered drum beat, followed by that funky bass line that works hand in hand with that R&B/soul vocal phrasing. Everything in this first part feels and sounds symmetric, even the keyboard lick. Everything gels perfectly like peanut butter and jam.
The vocal harmony is a match made in heaven. The voicing is as natural as it gets. What I like about this track is that the chorus hook is short. It can catch any listener’s attention because it follows what we call the K.I.S.S formula. Keep It Short and Simple. The chorus is just 5 words, making it easy to remember.
The guitar lick on the last part of the track is a great addition to the overall texture of the track because of its simplicity, repetitive, but catchy hook.
‘Game of Love’ is a track built with burning passion for the arts. Regardless of Michellar and Rad Datsun’s geographical distance, they were able to create a track that screams simplicity, beating masterful technicality.
