A stylish pop success from Philadelphia-based act Love Bash, Falling Upward is an album with a soulful, stylish immersion. The project comprises Adelaide “Adi” Day and Brandon Christopher, who alongside a variety of vocalists craft a sound with an abundance of smoothly unveiled hooks and atmospheric pop productions.
The album also touts a very personal influence, emphasizing how each day of life presents fluidity and a variety of challenges, in accordance with one’s personal growth. The release also is reflective of a personal journey for Day’s coming out as trans. “Love Bash has been an exercise in developing my own freedom through creativity,” Day explains. “I’ve always felt a deep block to my self-expression and lack of identity related to my being trans. For this project, I found that when I trust in myself, something beautiful is possible.”
“By My Side” opens the album with a smitten sense of adoration — “you’re all that’s on my mind.” Danceable percussion and glimmering, spacey synths envelop alongside a debonair vocal direction, punctuated by delectably swanky bass tones. “Everything feels right when you’re riding by my side,” an infectious, electro-inclined hook reveals, firmly inducing replays. A myriad of highlights persists thereafter, from the perseverant soulfulness within “Falling” to the spacey electro-pop charms of “Lemonade.” Falling Upward is a stirring success from Love Bash.
