“PokeG Beats” is a singer and songwriter who offers an uplifting and somewhat infectious melody, not to mention a hopeful and inspiring vision, with his latest track “Frozen Glitch.”
Structurally the track isn’t an obvious one to follow along. The music works, the evolution occurs throughout and it makes sense, however unpredictable it may be. As mentioned, it’s an unpredictable fusion of elements, but all in all the vibe has a familiarity about it that is likely to bring with it an enjoyable level of nostalgia for many listeners. The freshness is the added benefit, the new words, the new concept, the new voice – it all helps in making the music really leave its mark. The sound and the feeling the music gives you lasts well after listening.
The musical backdrop to the song has a great sound, the riffs, the beat, the stop and start nature of the whole thing – the production is creative, and although fairly minimalist, it’s hugely effective. The track pauses and rises up again with style and precision. The hook melody is simple yet memorable, it swings around and lingers in your mind long after listening, and the way the music has been crafted around this crucial moment is impressive and works really well.
The artist’s vocal performance style stands out well among its peers – the sound is fresh, as mentioned, and there’s a beautifully satisfying rhythm to the delivery. Furthermore, the voice itself brings with it all the relevant emotions to carry the concept of the song well. You can hear the passion behind the words, and once you familiarize yourself with the lyrics it becomes even clearer.
The music is great, the more you listen – the more that leading, hip hop -inspired riff leaves its mark, and develops into something increasingly enjoyable and comforting. The rhythm is superb, and the energy of the leading vocal during the verses works brilliantly alongside all of this. The lyrics talk of life, skill, perspective, desire – the honesty and positivity is something listeners will be able to relate to, and everything else is something they can simply vibe to and forget themselves for a while.
The rap vocal that comes in later on adds a new sense of character, a deeper tone, a little more attitude and alternate passion in the delivery – the vocal flow here is superb, the performance is fresh and fits in perfectly with the somewhat experimental, stop-start nature of the beat. All performances throughout are in fact on point, carrying the essence of the track confidently and fitting in well with the general ambiance. The overall effect is that the track is quite hypnotic, addictive even – hopefully there’s plenty more to come.
