A fresh single release from ET Boys has a beautiful way of bending and blending genres in the form of a vast and lush pop approach that has an emotional drive behind it that pushes it forward and when you listen to the song, you're immediately able to pick up on that authenticity.
"Love Me If You Must" is actually quite a graceful single and the way that the production and arrangement are approached is unique in the synths that they take dream pop, vintage and fresh tonalities, some hip hop, and a refreshing and real vocal approach, and because all of these things are together in one place, the song boasts its own atmosphere and can really take effect on you.
There are so many amazing textures and layers going on throughout this song, especially with the keys and synths. But there are also some guitars and layers of vocals that come through full-bodied and robust so that the song feels like it swims around in the air that surrounds you and enables you to grab hold of it and drift right alongside it.
It's a gorgeous song that certainly has a personal underbelly to it that comes out and you're able to feed off of that personality which is part of what creates the whole aesthetic and vibe of the track.
There's something about this that feels a little bit dark or selling around the edges, and I think that's part of the premise of the song itself but, all in all, this has a few surprises around the corners and seamlessly takes that hip-hop, and that dream pop approach and pushes those together to create a new sort of indie-pop that has a little bit more of an edginess to it but still feels like it was meant for you.
This track lets you get engulfed in it and then eventually, washed away with its soundscape and I found that to be beautiful.
Upon listening to this track even for the first time, you completely understand that this came from someplace genuine. There was a deeper meaning behind this because the entire song takes on that persona.
Even musically, the song has that feel that you end up being able to relate to.
You can feed off of that emotion and I love that because you rarely get an entire track that even musically encompasses that emotional value the way this one does.
People in different kinds of relationships can relate to this track and I feel like the way it was articulated lyrically comes through so blunt and straightforward that it hits you pretty hard.
This is possibly my favorite aspect of the track as a whole simply because you don't get that blunt honesty all the time from artists. A lot of times it's metaphorical which is fine, but I like when lyrics just hit you like a ton of bricks, and you completely understand them from the first time you listen to it.
The production of this song is outstanding and particularly played the biggest part of why the song pushes the envelope a bit. There was a lot of attention to detail paid on the production side of this track and a lot of planning done for the vocals, but it all came together with such a heartfelt and authentic style that you can't help but feel from this.
I think we need songs that you can think and feel from. Songs that make you think and make you feel.
This is what true art is all about. No walls built around it, and no conforming to social expectations. Just doing it to get it out or put something into the world that speaks truths.
ET Boys have accomplished that with this track, and from listening to this one song, I'm definitely paying way more attention to this group.
Take a swim through this track as soon as you can, and see how it affects you because I'm sure it will.
See what kind of memories it pulls out for you or what kinds of emotions it triggers.
Gorgeous track.
