We weren’t sure where to start in reviewing ‘want u to know’, and it slowly dawned on us that the best way to get a sense of Paleblu’s playful, uplifting artistry is to simply… listen to it. Wrapped into a club-oriented, jungle livery, the single is a giant vibe, something one has to feel, if you will. Still, its lyricism plays a vital role, resulting in a quirky and catchy gem that balances pop and EDM stylings.
Guiding a cathartic, bright listening experience, Paleblu packs ‘want u to know’ with personal and honest songwriting, seeking to leave a painful period behind him. As the London-based creative explains: “I started writing this song in October having gone through a pretty rough time. The music I’d been writing at the time had been quite deep and emotional, I found myself in a phase where a lot of the stuff I was writing was depressing. This was the first song where I thought I’d try and switch the mood to be a bit more positive”.
Boasting an impressive career as an MC in some of London’s finest clubs, Paleblu now aims to unite his club passion with a wider, mainstream pop flair, something that he’s obviously very successful at.
