Parlay on Ice

Country soul R&B with a laid-back 92 BPM pocket, swung drums, thumbed bass, slide guitar fills, and soft electric piano; verse rides low and conversational, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a rising turnaround, chorus lands on a sing-back hook with handclaps and call-and-response, bridge pulls to bare piano and voice before a final lift. Close-mic male vocal, warm doubles, tasteful ad-lib echoes, tape hiss into the first downbeat, reverse guitar swell before the chorus, bright and intimate mix., country, soul
