Curiousoul - CLICK BAIT
Dance/Electronica, Lounge/Chillout, House
Texas, United States
Overall Impression: With its pumping rhythm and energy-raising hooks, "CLICK BAIT" is a solid slice of electronica that combines catchy melodic lines with a chest-rattling sense of rhythm that ensures listeners are kept on their toes from start to finish. Curiousoul offers up a beat-heavy and musically creative track that can stand strong amongst the popular DJ fronted tunes of today and the clever hints at hip-hop, soul, and funk that are found throughout make for a particularly interesting blend of styles.
Strongest Point(s): The production is excellent and perfectly encapsulates the style in which the track is based. As with any strong dance track, energy plays an integral role, and the production and mix certainly make sure this attribute is highlighted and kept at the forefront of the music, I think any music lover would be hard-pressed not to find themselves moving to "CLICK BAIT", meaning the track is clearly doing something very right indeed. The subtle hints of other styles are a great addition and clearly shows Curiousoul's wide range of musical influences, the jazzy funk tinted brass hooks that are scattered throughout for instance offer a nice contrast against the harder-hitting percussive elements of the track whilst there the track encompasses a certain hip-hop-inspired sense of attitude that works extremely well in this context.
Target Audience Appeal: "CLICK Bait" is a great piece of electronica and will certainly prove to be a delight for any DJ.
Artist target suggestions: Gene Farris, Paul Johnson, DJ Sneak, Mood II Swing, Inland Nights, Robosonic, Derrick Carter, Chez Damier, Phil Weeks, Mike Dunn, Mark Farina, Love & Logic, Ferreck Dawn
