nys the halfsoul – To Love a Girl (Single Review)

‘To Love a Girl’ is the new single by nys the halfsoul, an alternative artist from Turin, Italy. It features FK.  

The single starts with some low energy guitar chords, with the guitar soon joined by an almost buzzing electronic sound. Then comes a brief and quick heavy drum rhythm which, when all instruments itself included, sees the lady singer introduce the vocals. For those brief seconds, it’s just her voice, the instruments having disappeared. This is impressive as it plays with the listener – or transports them to different worlds sonically. Another impressive thing being that the sound of the vocals and the instrumentation that came before is clean.

The instruments, however, return after the introduction of the vocalist. Thanks to its drums, the single produces an upbeat feeling to the listener. The drums – or bass – gets heavier, and you also get those computer glitch or video game sounds which lend the song to EDM. Here, however, the lyrics drown under the heavy sound. 

‘I’m missing what I lost’, I hear. Her weapons have destroyed what she owns.

SCORE/Good: This single is saved by two things: the beautiful vocals and clean, snazzy fat beat. I think it should be safe to say that the artists should refine their lyrics. They already have the voices as well as snazzy beats. I cannot wait to hear more of their music.
