An Anthemic new single released from Mot & Krid collaborates with Cindy Gomez and Rick Z. to create a very lush atmosphere but also a driving soundscape that comes through blending electronic with pop and a wonderfully placed rock over town that brings a little bit of edginess and blends amazingly with the synthesizers and vocals.
"Believe" starts off with a bit of a flowing electronic sound, taking layered synthesizers and pads and letting them breathe to start creating a bit of a cinematic backbone.
The synthesizers are soon joined by a beat and a guitar that overlays those keys, performing single strummed notes that help build on that vastness and depth the song delivers.
By the time the vocals come in, which is also pretty quickly, you are already embedded in the atmosphere of this track.
At the start, the vocals are drifting, floating, and dreamlike. They are there like instruments themselves, adding a different texture to the sound of the track, and it works amazingly because all of the elements seem to complement each other.
Just the way the guitars, synthesizers, beats, and vocals fit together have a way of pushing off of each other and as those build up and get a little bigger, the song has more of a sense of deepening to it.
When the song explodes into the chorus, you get a bigger rock sound. The guitars turn into full chords and the vocals sing the main hook of the song, "You Gotta Believe".
When this part hits the song gains a lot of sonic drive.
This is where the anthemic hook comes in and this is a powerful one.
The hook certainly stays with you for a while and the song stays sort of edgier and a little heavier for a bit after that main course hits.
The guitars are right on the forefront but so are the synthesizers, and those synths are pushed a little harder as well, giving everything that sense of intensity before it exhales back down and becomes calmer once again.
You get an amazing sense of arrangement throughout this track. They put a lot of thought into how the whole thing would unfold and made it so you're waiting for that hook to come back in.
Very well produced tones and textures coming from all of the instruments and you can tell a lot of thought went into that area as well.
Mot & Krid is a project quite known for bending genres and progressive songwriting, while also keeping heavy-handed hooks in place, and this song is a perfect example of exactly that.
Cindy absolutely crushed this. She does an amazing job of balancing her vocal dynamics so that it fits the energy of the rest of the song perfectly.
She brings an added brightness and it helps build a lot of that cinematic and sort of spacious aesthetic a lot of the time.
It's a very inspirational kind of track and I definitely dig how it came across because I feel like we need songs like this to let us remember that we can have the life we want if we believe.
Now, I get some of this also from the accompanying music video that was created for the track which showcases astonished and proud of it.
It gives you a sense of gratitude when you watch it. The song really has a little bit of a different feel if you listen to a while you watch the video they put together.
After a bit the song really builds up and you hear slide guitars, the drumming is really much heavier, and the entire song feels more robust.
At the beginning of the song It's a digital beat, or at least it sounds like it, and then by the second half of the track you have full live drums that really help blend the rock and the electronic with an outstanding approach.
This was a track that different listeners will interpret how they want.
It's definitely inspirational, uplifting, powerful, and has a great impact because of its sentiment and its straightforward way of getting across.
This track really utilizes the instrumentation and the power of the mood the music creates to help deliver that message lyrically.
This project is always going in great directions, very unafraid to branch out an experiment, and this is a song that really shows a lot of that.
It's a track that is built with fewer boundaries then whatever you may be used to, but still has a familiar undertone.
I would definitely check this one out at a good volume level. It's not really meant to be heard super low. I would turn it up or even listen with headphones on so you can really get into the vibe of it.
After this track I also suggest driving back through their catalog a bit because it's super fun to listen to the evolution of the project.
Take a deep dive into this right now and remember where you heard it first.
