A magnetic new track with a house-friendly pop invigoration, “Other Side” comes via GOLDICAT. The Sayulita, Mexico-based artist weaves an eclectic array of influences, from ABBA to Depeche Mode, in creating a hook-friendly pop allure. GOLDICAT describes the release as being inspired by “a turbulent relationship, where every struggle was worth it.” A memorable central line — “send love to all the demons you’ve outrun,” — artfully seems to capture those sentiments within the savvy production.
Vibrant piano and moody vocals intertwine melodically start. “I think it’s time to take a little time and pray,” the vocals soar as thumping percussive elements arrive, combining with the pulsating keys for a house-friendly pop allure. “Everything could be a different in a million ways,” signals further rhythmic invigoration, as a synth-y bass element melds seamlessly into funky guitar lines at mid-point. The second half dazzles in its gripping momentum, remining of Daft Punk at points with the cohesive alternation between spacious “life has only just begun,” electro-friendly intrigue and ensuing rhythmic bustling. “Other Side” is an infectious delight from GOLDICAT.
