GrayBeat‘s newly released track “Sad Song” intrigues with its creative electronic textures and infectious melodic pull. The “what would you say?” vocal refrain amidst pulsing percussion concocts a hypnotic soundscape that intrigues, especially as vocals expand with a Thom Yorke-esque vigor around the one-minute mark. The flickering energy around the two-minute turn engages, with a subtle blaring club-friendly element apparent in the shards of keys and percussive repetition. The vocal re-emergence around 03:09 also plays seamlessly. I enjoyed the track’s uniquely hypnotic soundscape throughout, in addition to the subtly effective vocal showing.
