Sometimes you press play on a track, find that it feels familiar yet can't quite put your finger on why. That happened with this track from Miami's
Kaosic. The vocals, which I eventually figured out were Selena Gomez, lead the track out with a dreamy mixture of trap, Jersey Club and just the right amount of kawaii chiptune feels. It happens all too often a pop song has broken into my consciousness without me knowing and this yet another case. Of course that means the lyrics and vocals were catchy, but most often the pop production leaves me wanting more or certainly something less standard. And this is where
Kaosic comes in. Yes, I'm a fan of kawaii and Jersey Club, but this repackaging just speaks to me. It's not much more than a beat, but still a good beat that moves and grooves. The drums are the key, with the double tapping bass mimicking the heartbeat, while the rolling snares and subsequent fills keep the track moving along nicely. The stabbing synth at about 2:03 brings a good bounce that turns "
Love Song" into a club tool. It's exactly the kind of subversive remake that I'd be happy to hear in a mix or just about any venue as a nice change of pace from the yawn producing original production.
