Open Your Ears

Soulful pop with mid-tempo bounce and steady finger-snapped groove; verse rides close-mic piano and muted electric guitar, pre-chorus opens with rising backing harmonies, chorus lands on warm stacked doubles and a simple clap pattern. Vocal is male, intimate in verses, firmer and lifted on the hook, with soft ad-lib replies. Ear candy includes a filtered swell into each chorus, a tiny reverse cymbal before key lines, and subtle crowd-like ooohs in the final hook. Clean, warm, and polished with an uplifting shine.
