If you are looking for a bright, monumental, catchy pop anthem, you just found it! ‘Champagne’ gets to us courtesy of Irish rising popstar Shobsy. Built on a nostalgic and wholesome soul-flavoured production, the track is steeped in The Weeknd, Years & Years and Harry Styles-esque goodness, eventually highlighting the authentic and elegant qualities of Shobsy’s evocative vocals.
The songwriting is exceptionally playful and light on this occasion, yet metaphorical enough to adapt to a wide range of listeners. Here, ‘Champagne’ is used as an excuse for losing yourself in the night, enjoying the ‘partying’ without too much guilt. Having recently signed a deal with Pangea International Music Publishing, Shobsy is enjoying his slice of international ferment, something that a recent trip to Los Angeles has certainly confirmed.
Honestly, ‘Champagne’ is a truly strong offering. It requires taking it at face value: it’s an uplifting pop gem that will put a smile on your face, and evoke memories from past night-outs… as Sobsy explains: “I wanted the song to be the soundtrack of ‘The Second Wind’ of a night out. When you maybe were about to go home but a glass of champagne brings you back to the party. But one should not read too far into that side of things. This is a love song dedicated to Champagne.”
