An Addictive New Single From bettyboid
A new single release from bettyboid takes the best elements of several genres to create something that you get pulled into because of its very unique and almost cinematic atmosphere. This is a track that feels like it comes from a personal place if you really listen to the lyrics, and this gives it a lot of character.
"Hydra" blends hip hop and rap with this pop undertone and sense of edginess, especially during the chorus, which is very melodically driving, and the actual progression and melody of that hook itself is part of why the song feels so personal.
The song has a bit of a sullen feel to it. This makes it all the more authentic and lets you know that the artist is giving a bit of a piece of himself during this track.
I really loved the vocal approach on this simply because he's doing octaves. There is a low and high octave singing the same note at the same time, giving the track this thick and robust vocal aesthetic.
This really sinks in during that chorus which has an incredibly memorable melody and that great emotional drive.
The beat and production of the track also blends an old school and new school vibe so that you have these vintage elements coming through with something a bit more refreshing as well.
This comes down to producing. The production of the track is something that was well thought out and helps the arrangement come through properly.
This was absolutely a track you could see in the scene of a film or television show. Again, it's got that melodic hook, robust feel, a bit of vastness in its undertone, which all give it more of a cinematic backbone.
This truck is beautifully done, and you can tell there was a lot of attention to detail when it came down to the lyrics and the lyrical phrasing itself because the words fit into those beats perfectly, and there they are, again, coming from some place real.
This is a single that's got an atmosphere which kind of floats and feels slightly dreamy. The song feels like something you'll wake up from.
That atmosphere is addictive, and once you're in, you don't want to leave.
This is part of why the track serves as a great little escape. You're being pulled away from wherever you are and whatever you're doing and transported into this other world for a little while.
This was a song that speaks volumes for the artist and definitely grabs my attention.
A brilliant crossover track that is built with fewer boundaries than the norm, definitely check out "Hydra" when you get a chance, because it's the kind of song that will bounce around in your brain for hours after it's ended.
The only way to satiate that is to go and listen to it again and again.
Dive into this one and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
