‘Feel Alive’ is some of the freshest stuff we have heard in a while. Truly: the intro is alone worth putting this record on your personal playlist. Featuring a charmingly sensual saxophone, the track evolves into a full-on disco-banger, although with a quirky vibe, we must say, one that doesn’t make it obvious or cliché. Balanced between the vintage and the contemporary, ‘Feel Alive’ soon transforms into a pop bop, thanks to Beatnik’s luscious vocals.
Let’s focus on the saxophone; its peculiarity lies in not being overproduced, making for a natural and highly dynamic sound that contrasts with the tight, groovy and modern instrumental. The Salt-Lake City creative does a real trick here, truly escaping any genre boxes and any pre-defined formula. Instead, Beatnik pursues his own musical path, something that’s clearly paying off.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Feel Alive’, he reveals: “This tune was written over a year ago, inspired by some much-needed soul-searching in a post-pandemic world. It’s a deeply existential tune, and touches on the struggles I’ve had with alcoholism and purpose.”
