This track is saying “Hello” to brighter days, windows down, rosé in the sunshine, and brighter times. It’s March, everyone, and spring feels closer than ever. It’s a global team-up, but, more importantly, it’s a bop: “Hello 2.0” sees Filipino-Australian singer-songwriter James Reid enlist JAY B (of GOT7 fame) and Taiwanese-American writer and rapper ØZI for an irresistibly catchy jam. It’s an earworm, and it’s ideal pop music for this era of romantic in-betweens. The rising duo channeled this frustration at the modern dating scene into a quirky bop, “you could at least say goodbye,” their first cut off an upcoming concept EP of the same name. REYNA are sick of being ghosted, an idea all too relatable in this day and age.
Chinouriri’s voice is enchanting, and the song is perfect for a “soundtrack through everyday life that makes me feel like I’m the main character of this movie after all” moment. “All I Ever Asked” is an easygoing, bright indie-pop offering inspired by the deconstruction of a relationship that was only ever giving the bare minimum. If the airiness and shimmer of SZA were to meet the grounded grit of Maggie Rogers, it would perhaps sound like Rachel Chinouriri’s latest. For The Black Keys, that will always be enough. It’s a track that will undoubtedly make its way to the higher end of the rock and alternative charts - not because it fits well into the current sound of radio-centric sync, but because it also harkens back to their commercially successful heyday of their 2010 masterpiece Brothers and 2011’s El Camino.Īnd overall, “Wild Child” represents the fact that The Black Keys still have a great deal of gas left in the tank - their chemistry together is undeniable, and it’s their uncanny ability to create an incredibly cohesive sound and vision of the band seemingly out of nothing that will continue to sustain them throughout the decade.Īt the end of the day, all Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney need to do is sit down and play. The song oscillates primarily between only two chords, but The Black Keys populate each moment with energy, experience, and an untouchable air of cool.
“Wild Child” is a driving, funk-influenced howler, with Auerbach’s expressive, commanding vocals taking the spotlight.
