This one is special, as baiyou is the first overseas artiste we are featuring. London based producer baiyou’s fourth single Ennui is hands down a loop worthy track. It’s also the first instrumental track we are featuring on #studiofresh.
The track starts off with a small riser/sfx and breaks into lovely electric guitar harmonics over what we think is a random vocal sample that adds curiosity to the track. The best part of the intro is the drum rim shots. We love the production quality of Ennui. The guitars are just beautiful and this is the loop worthy aspect of the song. The licks are so emotive that it almost feels like baiyou is talking to us through the guitars! The breakdown of the track again has the voice sample and ends the song on a very curious note. Again, why Ennui is loop worthy. It’s short, it’s sweet, hooks to your ears and you will find yourself humming the guitars. We guarantee you, you can’t listen to it only once!!
P.S. Although we at ICC try our best not to review the music we post on our magazine because we want our readers and the artiste’s listeners to go and listen to the music with an open mind, we try to best describe the music in simple words to give it a flavour of our own.
