CRAZY RIICH’s latest release “TOY OCUPAO” has the good vibes to start any week off the right way. The music is easygoing and lighthearted in nature – riffs, beats and various instances of sounds coming into play – all creatively arranged. On the other hand, lyrics deal with the reality of life; Words that are honest and convey some truth have a lot of value. All of this, and the fact that the whole thing is produced to a remarkably unique level, gives the track a definitive sound.
“TOY OCUPAO” is amazing. Its strength comes from the way the music sets the scene – the structure, the development, the description – as the track plays there is nothing left to do but be swept away by its power and its story. The opening few moments create a peaceful atmosphere – reverb-soaked flashes of a male voice, soft and dreamy synths – then comes the build-up, and what’s great about it is that it takes time to build; Downsizing lacks predictability and that can be a difficult thing to achieve these days. The energy changes in different directions and it takes you, and it is always appropriate to return to the essence of the track. As mentioned, this shared appreciation and passion for music is clear, consistent and amazing to witness.
There is barely a verbal-free moment, so you are simultaneously immersed in the energy of the piece while simultaneously trying to catch and pick out every word and every idea. It’s a fantastic high-energy track, the sound is dense yet intricately detailed, and the vocal rhythm and melody will stick in your mind for a long time.
Energy is a point, and in this case, intense and even hyper – for several minutes the track is so full of music that even lazy listeners might feel the need to get up and do something. The best kind of music leaves a lasting impact on its audience, and that’s exactly what you get from “TOY OCUPAO,” albeit always in the form of something new and unpredictable.
