Charming in its pulsing hookiness, “Easy” is a replay-inducing new track from Ballsy, the new solo project of Caveboy’s synth-bassist Isabelle Banos. She describes the release as an exploration of “about getting in your own way of feeling real love.”
A glistening pop dreaminess and alt-rock vigor sway back and forth with compelling immersion. The “just dying for you to listen,” vocals envelop alongside dynamic instrumentation — ranging from the balmy acoustic strums and hazy synths to the more ardent rock expanses. “You’ve got a way of making it feel easy,” Banos continues during the lush folk-friendly build-up, culminating seamlessly thereafter into the impassioned rock pulses. “Easy” is a fantastic, melodic output from Ballsy.
