OVERTHINKING
We’re again in spotlight territory because the album strikes towards its finale. When Overthinking was first teased, I commented that it seemed like “Fortunate To Be Liked within the membership,” and the total model bears out that description. For Fortunate To Be Liked, I initially discovered the tune nice however inessential. Nonetheless, with time it grew into a significant standout. I can simply see an identical arc for Overthinking.
The tune opens with a stunning verse, placing melody entrance and middle over a thumping dance beat. I want this identical melody repeated in verse two as a result of it’s so interesting. From right here, the tune climbs into an octave-stretching refrain that appears like a vocal warm-up put to an instrumental. It’s not straightforward to make this type of vocal run sound nice (belief me, I’ve tried singing it within the automotive to a lot private embarrassment), however the members pull it off.
I’m of two minds in regards to the switch-up through the second refrain. Sure, a tune can all the time do with extra selection, however I additionally hate when EDM tracks plunge right into a extra downbeat tempo shift. Nonetheless, this transition has already smoothed out for me and I’m discovering the tune as an entire very addictive. Aside from the album’s two singles (yep, Head Shoulders Knees Toes has grown into an enormous standout for me), that is undoubtedly my favourite monitor.
