I consider myself to be a pretty big Kiiara fan. I love low kii savage, and "Whippin" is also great. But with all that being said, my opinion on Kiiara was getting worse and worse. I thought that she'd keep dropping basically the same song over and over; just that dirty sounding, vocal-chopped EDM track.
Then, she drops this. And all of my faith is restored. This song is quite frankly amazing, one of my top songs this year, and my favorite Kiiara song (maybe tied with Feels). It gives me new hope for Kiiara; it displays how she can be versatile if she wants to, how she doesn't need to totally rely on producers, and how great her voice is.
First, I'm not going to say that the production is anything bad at all. In fact, it's quite amazing. The beautifully crooning violin, that elegant piano riff, and the little vocal cut after "bricks" all combine together with the drumbeat to make the perfect canvas for Kiiara to paint on.
Kiiara's voice is perfect in this. She shows a lot more range than normal, and dips between her lilting higher register to her sultry lower range. The pre-chorus is amazing; it's so simple as she lists colors but so pleasant at the same time, and the high of the song is definitely how she combines it all into "light it up". The lyrics are right on brand for Kiiara; she's not losing her identity and she's not going over the top.
The bridge is one of the best bridges all year. It builds to a giant climax, and it actually delivers in her own way. Sure, it could be loud, but I prefer the more chill vibe of the current bridge; it actually fits with the song.
All of the sudden, I'm super hyped about Kiiara's album. The lil Kiwi is coming to slay.
Unsurprisingly:
Final Verdict:
10/10
