“Tropical” is the impressive debut single from Vulve Velue. The Toronto-based artist integrates both higher-pitched, soulful vocal emotion and more lower-toned nonchalance, the latter present during the “two steps forward,” vocal hook. Twinkling keys and catchy guitar swipes complement the sharp vocals, with evident R&B touching stones surrounding an accessible pop outline. 02:22 represents an effective transition, with an electro-soul/funk glimpse alongside slowed-down vocals that help lead into a final replay of the central hook and fluid guitars. “Tropical” is a very strong debut from an artist with ample promise.
